What FW version are you using now?

Did you have the Android forget any profiles that it had attempted to conencte to then reboot the android then try again?

My Galaxy Tab S2 works well. v16 is current version of FW.

Hi Furry.

All of a sudden this morning my phone connected (wifi on and mobile data on) but it takes a long time to connect. I will try and wipe the cache of all previous wifi conenctions on the phone and see if that fixes it. My wife's S8 connected last night after a Samsung update. S7, S5 and other tablets not connecting. Orbi firmware V2.5.1.16. Phone Samsung S8 G950FXXS8DTC7. I will hard rest the Orbi, update firmware and start again. That should do it.

Thanks

Clark

As far as I know, my other halfs S8 connects fine our Orbi RBK50 fine as well.
Hopefully a reset and setup from scratch will help.
