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...
Thank god for Best Buys 2 year warranty. I am taking these pieces of crap back. I have had these Orbi RBR/S 50's for almost a year now and Netgear has yet to release a stable firmware. What a F'ing joke and waste of $450. Buying Meraki AP's, will never buy another piece of Netgear Sh1t again.
Just updated my RBK40 via the iOS app - it has been a no-thrills experience, as it had been with all other updates, my RBK40 has been through. I am seriuosly thinking, that there must be something going on on the networks, where these Orbis have issues.
This is not to blame anyone of anything and I do think, that NG should be able to address that, but my take on this is… if you haven't experienced these issues with your Orbi, you likely won't, unless something on your network changes dramatically - e.g. getting onto an IPv6 network or where there are multicasts or spanning tree issues involved. Multicast seems to play havoc with mDNS and STP can mess with the mesh setup of your Orbis, resp. their bridges.
