Orbi RBK50, Firmware V1.12.0.18 comes with new problems - internet disconnects on iOS and Android
Hi We have had the Orbi wifi system (RBR50 and RBS50) since April. We have quite a few different devices iOS, MacOS, Android. Especially the iOS and Android devices have had the occasional wifi d...
For some of us, the Orbi was pefect until 1.11 and then started suffering terribly. Now with 1.12.0.18 I'm back to rock solid, as Orbi had been for my 90+ devices since March.
Tex.... therein lies the heart of the problem. For users like me with the RBK40 (AC2200) 1.11.0.20 eliminated all of my problems and gave me three weeks of perfection. Then 1.12.0.18 came along and broke the crap out of it. Yet it was the opposite for many with the RBK50 (AC3000). Clearly one sizes fits all Firmware isn't working. I did a full factory reset and installed 1.11.0.20 and am back to mostly good functioning, though still having some wild speed swings. Now I just saw that Netgear posted on another thread I created, that yes, 1.12.0.18 has a bug in it so I should downgrade!!! Duh. This would all be comical if it wasn't costing me time and causing me headaches. I lost my window to return this so I hope they fix it. Glad things are working well for you!
