Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16 discussion
do we need to do nvram wipe for this 2.1.1.16 Firmware just released today? noticed it downloaded automatically.
I check in everyday and see others having issues, which I thankfully have not. I have a low speed connection "25 Mbps" which I have wondered makes a difference from the much higher connections of others having issues.
In AP mode I have Fios at 75. I get over 80 up and down. 30 devices.
no reboots so far. Only iPads, iPhones, chromcast, roku, and older Logitech squeeze touch boxes on system for WiFi.
Once I rolled back the firmware to 074, no more reboots. I have my system in router mode, with FIOS providing the service. Two satellites in wifi backhaul mode (which is the only reason I purchased this system - I can't run ethernet through my house), 40 - 50 devices that are attached at any one time, a mixture of Apple, Windows and Android devices, Nest cameras and thermostats.
I don't really care that sometimes the device pictures or labels do not match the devices on the web page, but I want to be able to tell which Orbi device they are connecting to for troubleshooting purposes.
