Yeah I literally just rolled back to 2.1.2.18 because I got tired of random issues like my RainMachine losing connection after a few days. I think I might stay on this for a while. I am curious if 2.1.4 is considered a beta still? I haven’t gotten a notification for an update even if I manually check and I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not on a beta at the moment.

So my app shows the option to update to 2.1.4.10 currently. Usually they don’t give you the phone app update feature if the firmware is still beta, but who knows. Did you roll back from the 2.1.4.10, if so why?

    No sorry I rolled back from 2.1.3.4. I am worried that the issues I experienced won’t be fixed because the “bug fixes” of this release are pretty darn small. I’ll wait to hear reports on this one...I hope it fixes more than the release notes lead on.

      Do you have access to the routers web page via wired PC or wireless PC/laptop?

      Whats the Mfr and model of the ISP modem the routers connected too?

      Do you have Satellilte(s) connected? Wireless or wired backhaul?

       

      Try powering down both Obri router, sattelllite and ISP modem for 1 minute. Power up the ISP modem first and let it sync. Then power ON the router. If you get a BLUE LED or it goes from White to OFF, check router web page access then internet access with a PC/laptop. If it's working here, turn ON the Satellite and let it sync and check it's Top LED Color. Hopefully White, Blue then OFF.

    We installed latest firmware last week, non stop daily crashing. I want to return this crap paperweight of a router. Fed up of Orbi support. Or lack there of. Stop bricking routers and be transparent
