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 ...
13 days now and not a glitch. Performance is very fast but then again I’ve not had problems on previous firmware versions. Hope others are now joining me in the ranks of very satisfied customers.
I'm probably getting close to a month without having to touch anything!
I'm seeing higher WiFi speeds than often reported by Cat6 wired devices.
I have had Google WiFi - garbage.
I had the Velop, which was excellent.
I had avoided the Orbi because of the bad feedback - plus I don't have a great history with Network and their sub-par 90 day tech support among other issues.
But this thing is a beast. I don't want to touch the FW - V2.1.3.4 is how this should be and I am hoping because it was a 'beta' that I might be able to avoid any updates.
If it ain't broke.....
Hopefully going forward when updates are pushed, shouldn't need any factory resets and set up from scratch either. Should only be needed as a last troubleshooting step from here on out.
