Not my experience. Running .16 now for 20 hours and I am seeing devices in the list connected to satellites. Maybe all your devices are just too close to router which they should prefer.
No, in my case. I can tell from my PC it is connected to the satellite, and that other devices are as well. But the list on the satellite is empty. Apparently you're luckier than some of us. I personally used the Web UI to do the update and restart, not manual, FWIW.
Okay has the new .16 update fixed the disconnect issues for the folks that were experiencing a lot? And did it stay stable for a couple days?
I've moved to Eero, but I'd be willing to give Orbi one more shot if people say the disconnect issues are done. I don't care at all about the GUI issues and seeing what is connected to what, I just need a stable internet connection. If it's stable again, I can return the Eero and save myself the cash for the time being. Having to shell out another $500 after already spending $650 on the Orbi hurt.
So major disconnect folks, any change? Is there hope, or should I just stay with Eero?
Greyhawk68 I haven't seen a consistent pattern of the new "16" FW fixing connection reliability issues. It had no positive affect in my case.
