Drops network every 30 seconds for 5 seconds
My Orbi is dropping network connectivity for 5 seconds just about every 30 seconds. It's not exactly 30 seconds, but it does occur very regularly, definitely every minute. I'm on version 2.1.2.18...
Downgrading to V2.0.1.4 fixed it for me.
What is the problem your having? Please give details.
Hard to know whats really wrong.
