Orbi satellite dropping connection
Right to the point: my Orbi system has 2 satellites and 1 main tower. The internet drops/slows down (to the point where internet browsing is not possible) 2-3 times per day randomly without warning o...
That is correct, the orbi system is not subject to the 90-day window return at Costco. I had my orbi system for well over 6 months and went to return it when it started having issues.
Anyone with any early thoughts on the new 2.1 firmware. Does it help cure the dropouts?

No changes. Devices that dropped out before continue to do so.

Well early days as less than 24hours, but by now I would have had a dropout and none so far. My outdoor camera is also picking up signal where it wound’t before so possibly slightly stronger WiFi signal too?
My Orbi was all boxed up and ready to go but this might just get it a reprieve. Tried Google Wifi but that is boxed up as way too slow when the whole family were on line, possibly due to lack of MIMU. Also didn’t realise I cant operate it in bridge mode.
Amplifi HD should get delivered today so will be good to see how that goes. Really want the Orbi to settle down though and be a keeper as I will miss the additional ports Vs the Amplifi.
Will post again the minute I get dropout or connection error.
My Samsung Galaxy S8+ drops connection randomly when connected to 5GHz band.
It somehow learned that and now connects to 2.4GHz band, and no longer drops connection randomly..
Maybe there are some incompatibility on the 5GHz band with these devices? Especially Samsung Android devices from what i read in this forum.

Do you mean 2.0.1.2? (Latest to my knowledge.)
If so then, no, it don’t work any better.
Is there a 2.1?
