RBK50 Disconnects driving me crazy
I'm a somewhat older fellow that doesn't have the greatest grasp of modern technology. Just when I try to research the latest "get rid of cable" rave, I decide to update my WiFi router with what I t...
I'm outside watching roku with a whopping 52Mbps link rate, looking at my iPhone with a 104 Mbps rate trying to use my Amazon Fire with a, get this, 1 Mbps link rate. I'm all of 15 ft from the satellite.
Of course all on 2.4G
Finally got into orbilogin.com and set my 2.4G to 75% and the 5 G to 50%
My firmware version is v2.3.5.30
I have been disconnected probably 5 times during this ordeal. I am now sitting 4 ft. from the satellite, only been disconnected once!

v2.3.5.30 has know problems
Did you do a manual update? If so, why?
IF you can't get this worked out with v2.3.5.30 installed you may have to stepback to the previous firmware.
Did no manual update, Orbi checked for updates when I installed

OK....you can try and work it out following the numerous suggestions here. Some claim that v2.3.5.30 works fine, however if you do a search in the community here, you see lots of folks having problems. Others finally rolled back to the previous firmware. Once it settles down, leave it alone and let the Netgear auto push handle the updates. Just because you see there is a available update when you login does NOT mean you need it or are required to install it. Good luck!
Well how do you backdate an update?

Looks like 2.2.1.212 is available for the RBR50
Be careful
I also checked the Mimo and Beadforming boxes
