Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
I'm having an issue with an older Lenovo Laptop with a Broadband N Wireless Adaptor that arbitrarily drops the Internet (still connected to the WiFi - but drops Internet) - it's an older 1x1 adaptor connected to 2.4GHZ.
Tried the usual - turn off BeamForming, MU-MIMO, Fast Roaming.... I also tried fixed 2.4 Channel and Static IP on Laptop....
I did hard paperclip reset and reconfigure 2x - just to be sure. Both Router & Sat running 2.1.3.4
There was a mention of turning of 40 Mhz Coexistence - so will try that - but any other ideas?
What is the model # of the laptop. I have an x61, dual band adapter. Windows 7 x32.
What channels are you using? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any other wireless neighbors near by? If so, how many?
I have beamforming enabled on mine only.
Let us know if disabling 20/40Mhz does anything.
