Orbi STILL Disconnects On Older iOS devices With New Firmware
I have been having the iOS disconnect issue (but only with older iOS devices - all running iOS 9 as they don't support newer versions) from day one with my Orbi system. I have 2 older iPod Touches and 3 iPad Minis - all running IOS 9 and they all disconnect multiple times in a day, sometimes a few times in an hour. My newer IOS devices all run iOS 10 and do not experience the disconnects. I just want to confirm that the new Orbi firmware 1.8.0.6 has NOT fixed this issue at all.

Ofcourse it does the new Firmware didn't address the issue Netgear Engineering are aware but still unable to release a fix yet.
Try and turn off Beamforming AND MU-MIMMO...
My ipad on 9.3.5 is now running with those off and dropping very little
I have got both checkboxes unticked on the Advanced Wireless Settings page ("Enable Implicit Beamforming..." and "Enable MU-MIMO" but I've always had these unchecked and have always had the problem, so alas I don't think that's working for me....
Sorry it didn't work for you...but the answer may be coming
BTW, I;m running a debug sw version so that may be the difference V 1.8.0.12
