RBS50 Connectivity problems and Issues

Seems like a hardware failure since this has been happening for a while across different versions. Sorry we couldn't get it working for you.

Please , no apologies needed . Apologies should be come from Netgear , I didn't claim anything to them , no reimbursement , no RMA , no new products , just a simple explanation of what is happening , but nothing .

It's not a surprise , if you search in this and other forums like reddit , or social networks , they are plenty of users claiming with no answering and much worst than me , because they bought one or two monthes ago and in my case I could enjoy Orbi for almost 3 years. 

I've tested also Voxel Firmware with the same results Wifi Drops , so is very difficult to accept but perhaps it is a Hardware problem . (as always said HW should never failed , but SW can't never , if you've tested it in the proper way and with the right metodology) .

And the most important topic in the decision making process is the user experience , as you can imagine I can't talk this as a  satisfactory with the exception of this community support  . 

Stupid me , I didn't realize , when I bought , the expiration date for technical support in 90 days , because decision in this moment could be different .

Now Technical Support was the number one topic in the decision making process . Also because I tested it with another equipment and it is almost closer to perfect . (perhaps harware won't be the best , but I least you have someone listening and helping you on the other side of the planet , with no extra costs)

This community is one of the best I can see , but it's not an excuse for the NG Company to refuse support to end users and rest in the community to give us solutions . 

This is my opinion -  Sorry for the bla bla bla ,,, but I'm very angry with the NG Technical support behavior . Anyway , there are much more important things than a Mesh system that you can replace .

HI vajim 

If you another test to be done I will be ready to perform it - 

But if I tested a lot of firmwares , and considering also Voxel ones , and if the problem started without any change in the environment , I believe we have two alternatives .

1 - Hardware failure

2 - Hardware expiration date (many articles talk about it , I don't believe it , but ....) which could be software . 

Anyway as mentioned above , many thanks for supporting and helping .

Nothing . Just post the last activity and as fars as I know you posted a question . (Anyway , I don't have any answer yet and perhaps I never know) .  

72 - Is too Funny , in the meantime I'm playing wiith the Orbi adding more and more devices with no wifi disconnection (running ok with the wired satellite)  but (you always  have a but with Netgear Orbi) I'm experimenting the famous DNS problems -

Some of the devices refuse to connect (specially a Notebook) and voilaa ,

I don't have DST enabled , I don't have the traffic metter enabled , and the only way to solve the problem was to change the DNS assignment on the client side ... (it's beatiful , isn't it) . 

This is not a question , this is a fact about the past and actual state of the art of Orbi firmware . 

Surprise : Amazon / Fakespot (at least for me)
