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...
Well, I have upgraded the FW on both the Router and the Satellite and... yep did a hard factory reset and jumped ththeugh te reconfiguration hoops.
The only settings changed from factory are:
- admin credentials
- WiFi name and PW
- Address reservation for my core devices (9 of those)
And... the whole router still randomly takes itself offline and then SOMETIMES boots itself back up. Lasted a whole 3 hours before it happened the first time. So this new firmware has in no way solved the issue. The network goes down and often times does not self-recover unless I hard power cycle. This is frustrating for the family and as a person who works from home often and needs to access files when on the go this is a severe disappointment. Looks like it may be time to go to eBay (way past return window) and then look at LinkSys. Real bummer too as I have been a Netgear user for a long time. Even have Arlo and cameras and Netgear switches in use bummer I can keep the router Netgear too.
I experienced much better stability after i turned off the daisy chain feature.
