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...
The first wave to be released are only for the RBR50 and RBS50, which is used in the RBK50 and RBK53 (Costco) kits.
New beta FW avaialble. Get it while its hot of the press:
I’ve had the 2.1.3 Beta running for a few days now. 1 base, 2 satellites, 21 devices, no dropped connections, everything talking fine now. Yeah. Thx.
As FURRYe38 and Orbi2018-3-3 have stated, many people have had good luck with it, myself included :-)
2.1.3.4 firwmare is still buggy for me as connecting the ethernet backhaul bricked my entire network. Beta 2.2 fixed the issue.
I'm using v2.1.3.x here wired back haul working 4 days +. No issues. Using two NON Managed swiches in between the Satellite and router.
One thing i found to work best for set up initially. Set up the satellite via wireless first. Then connect the ethernet cable from the router to the satellite. Give at least 5 minutes for the system to reconfigure itself and settle down. If you have a 2nd satellite, do the same time, sync wireless first then connect ethernet cable and give 5 minutes.
Again, managed switches will cause problems with the orbi system. NON Managed switches are preferred. If your having problems with managed or non managed switches in between the router and satellite, please give Mfr and model # information for switches so we can forward this to NG support. Also give details on if Daisy Chain was enabled or not while using switches.
