OrbiOS MR 2.1 issues
I wanted to reach out to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1 software. We believe that these issues are affecting some users. Rest assured that we've been following this issue and working hard beh...
Jesus, prior when i was having connectivity issus with 2.0, I sent an email, was given 2.1, and it was wonderful, provided feedback, collected debug logs (they never advised how to send to them :/...), still, it did great things for stability!
Sadly, my latest call/email to Netgear to try out 2.2 (because **bleep** losing wired backhaul and other features), it was literally a 4 hour, 3 of it on hold while Tier 1 was on the phone with Tier 2, and all they wanted me to do was change settings, I work for a company who has to setup router's, and troubleshoot them daily... been through all of it, defaults, downgrades, ect, they didnt want to provide 2.2 firmware, only replace the unit!
Nah we know our firmware is not stable, but we want to replace hardware anyway... great job Netgear support! (for the record I dont experiance any of the hardware issues other's here have, and using RBR50 only seems to be the stablest of all... (and doing a sattalite swap with a coworker yeilds same issue for both of us).
Netgear, get some good developers ya?
So, I decided to load the 2.1.2.18 firmware (yes, it is still available on the Netgear site). I loaded it this morning and it is still running well. No issues. I have Circle enabled. I am not using the Ethernet backhaul. I have every checkbox checked in the advanced wireless settings (Daisy-chain, mu-mimo, beamforming, fast roaming, etc.).
So far so good. We will see how it goes.
