Orbi RBK50 drops internet connection on wifi only
Orbi RBK50 randomly drops internet connection on wifi only. It works fine when plugged in. This happens across all devices (laptops, google phones, tv's) System is new as of 1-6-18. Router Firm...
I was able to get some time on the .18 firmware and can say that while it's much better for me, I've had to restart the router a couple times this weekend. Keep in mind though that I have 20ish devices connected at all times. Most consume high bandwidth too, and I have this system connected to a 400 mbps internet service. I would assume that my use case is tough on routers.
Netgear, since you can't seem to fix the Orbi, are you going to start issuing refunds? or exchanging everyone to Orbi Pros (which doesn't appear to have these problems, because you value business customers over regular consumers?)? TP-link, Linksys, and others have already gotten it fixed... How long for a Chromecast/Android fix Netgear?
