Countless restarts, change settings, Telnet, etc. I actually smashed the thing against the wall in frustration too.
I thought I was buying a premium product from this company at an associated premium price but it turns out to be a prototype hobby product. If this is not resolved by Orbi before the end of this week it'll be my last Netgear/Orbi product ever.
and the other sad part about this is that there are several in this forum who want to talk about anything BUT firmware.
I hope you can salvage your Orbi. It's a great system when the firmware is stable.
Thanks Vijam, I agree it worked great seemingly until the time change so I second the firmware thought.
I have disabled the trafic meter, hope it works (as I have followed the advise in several other posts that did not resolve).
But these issues are not acceptable to me - not from a company like Netgear. The suggestion that these bugs have existed for a while is frustrating. People having to rely on what expert users post in forum messages to keep their high dollar system working is very disturbing.
