Orbi V2.0.0.74 - iPhones constantly losing Internet connectivity (but not WiFi connectivity)
I think I've been more than patient with my 6-month-old Orbi System, but this is getting ridiculous. Since "upgrading" to V2.0.0.74, our iPhones are constantly losing their Internet connectivity. The...
Ahhhh!!! These damnnn bugs wont stop!!!! Paid A arm & a leg for this and finally when we think its all good! Boom all our iPhones, ipads, apple tvs keep having issues with this orbi system! Plus i have a RBK53 and I have to go on LTE to even post here! SMH!! Netgear Really? You guys need to fix this ASAP or start losing customers like crazy! Enough is enough!!!
Yep, also suffering from these issues. The worst is the Chromecasts and Google Homes that completely get frozen out of wifi until your unplug replug them. For iOS, wifi off/on works.
Garbage product this Orbi. Wish it was still under 30 days to return this horrible, terrible junk.
- Alas, we have the same problem: full strength WiFi signal, but intermittent dropping of the connection to the Internet. Two days in, this has only been an issue with the iPhone 8 (iOS 11.1) whilst connecting with the RBR50 (2.0.0.74). iPhone 8 Plus and 4 iPads all working fine thus far.
- This is happening with my iPhone 10 on the latest firmware
- My post seemed to be removed...
I have had the same issue for months. I’ve been issue free for 48 hours now on my wife and I iPhone. I manually changed the DNS on our iPhone Orbi connection to “8.8.8.8” and “8.8.4.4”. 2 days of hastle free iPhone browsing!!!
I wonder if anyone has thought about putting together a class action in regards to the lack of quality from the Orbi systems? Maybe Netgear will listen to customers or at least offer them their money back for suck a garbage product. I have downgraded back to 1.12.0.18 multiple times to try to resolve my post update issues and then it gets auto-updated back to junk code. You have to go in debug mode to disable the auto-updates but somehow still updates after saving nvram. Not worth the hassle for $500.
