All devices connected to router v2.1.1.12
I didn't see a thread dedicated to this so I wanted to post this particular problem with the new firmware 2.1.1.12. First, I manually installed the Satellites firmware FIRST, then the Router. By do...
Me too. However all devices seem to have good access (80-90) WiFi to the internet where ever we are in the house. So I think the sats must be we working?
Agreed - I didn't post about this because I think it's just a display issue because all connections are good. Hopefully that is the case, but I'd like to prove that satelites are working as they are supposed to.
Actually the more I look at this the more I think this firmware is borked, when I go directly and log into a satellite, https://192.168.1.3/connectDevices.htm is clearly shows nothing connecting to either satellite. However, I know that some things are wired in and they also show the same so not sure what is going on.
I am also experiencing this strange problem (everything is showing connection back to the base), but it's more sinister, as some of my devices that need to connect to a satellite are not. I have two satellites, both closer to my Ring Stick Up Cam, but it is connecting back to the base at -71dbm. When it is connected to the closest satellite it will see -47dbm. I've also noticed that using the IOS orbi app, which shows signal strength, some connected devices are showing a very weak connection eventhough they could jump to the much closer satellite. I've tried the "enable fast roaming" switch, but I didn't notice a difference.
In addition this latest update is wreaking havoc on my Sonos system. Zones are dropping, I have one iPhone that won't find the system at all, and one speaker in a stereo pair that refuses to connect. I'm starting to hate updates. I hadn't owned a netgear product in many years because of sketchy performance, and current experience is jogging my memory.
The only saving grace is that when the Orbi system is working I have 30+ devices connected streaming youtube, netflix, deezer, and playing video games. It's actually amazing how much data it routes. Now if it would just be stable.
