OrbiOS 2.1.4 availability
A quick update. We're about to release an updated version of OrbiOS 2.1.4 in the next few days through our auto-update mechanism for all Orbi models. When it goes live, you should see a prompt in t...
I FIXED IT! I went out and bought Google Wi-Fi. Everything is working better than it has since prior to bringing the Orbi home. This whole ordeal has left a very bad taste in my mouth as far as Netgear is concerned. Also went to the store to buy a new switch and just couldn’t bring myself to buy a Netgear one. Anyone want to buy an Orbi mesh with faulty firmware?
I think I’ll be going with google also, for the money spent on Orbi I should not have to deal with all this to get my WiFi working after a problem solving update. Mine will go in the garbage and I will never recommend this to anyone. Nice job netgear! Have the paying public do your work and trouble shoot your faulty gear and solve the problems while you just sit back and laugh.
I'm not upgrading to 2.1.4.10 (voluntarily) till its available for at least 3 of my 4 devices.
And since 2.1.3.4 just dropped today for RBS50Y, I think I'll be waiting for a bit.
BTW I've never had the autoupdate initiated for me, I always have had to kick it off with the "update all" button.
I obviously don't doubt that the autoupdate is really just autoupdating for most people, but never been the case here.
I have initial launch units of the RBR50/RBS50 from August 2016, a launch RBS40, and a launch RBS50Y currently in use.
I finaly got it to work last night at about 0330 so it has earned itself a stay of execution for now. Factory reset, unplug all of it and install again like when out of the box. Up and running for the last 6 hours with the update.
Hope it keeps working for you. Let us know if you see anything else.
