I still have major problems... I have tried multiple locations around the house, most using Ethernet backhaul. No matter where I try and what settings I try (channel changes, turnig on/off roam and other Advanced settings, etc) it still has the same two issues...
1. Cameras will frequently connect and disconnect, randomly... even though signat there is in the -50dbm range
2. when testing with the Orbi app or Wifi Man app, I'll show great 35-60dbm range all over the house BUT often only get 14-58mbit throughput... while other times I'll get 130-500mbit... in the same spots!
If I put the old ASUS AC68P in the same place as the Orbi in my office I get -38dbm and 866mbit!
