Orbi RBS/RBR 50 Version 2.1.3.4 and Apple homekit iDevices and Philips Hue problems.
I have updated to firmware version 2.1.3.4 and have noticed some homekit instability. I have several iDevices Switches which have become intermittent and no other changes than the router firmware. ...
Orbi has the fastest backhaul which is why I chose them. If you already have a router check out ubiquiti. They’re small business class and require a separate controller install (windows Mac or Linux) to configure but work really well. They also have great support. Stay away from Linksys Velop as I have heard people have similar problems to orbi.
- Please note that I was experiencing no issues with my Orbi system prior to the firmwear upgrade - nor am I now after changing back to the previous version of firmware. I've been getting good throughput and connectivity.
I have been able to contact Netgear through twitter - it took a bit, but apparently now it has been forwarded to a Tier 3 technician. If anyone has stayed on the new version of software, which is having problems, that might be helpful to them.
