Samsung Galaxy S8 not working on Orbi RBR40
Galaxy S8 keeps connecting Orbi wifi with message "internet may not be available" then logging off again but all other devices including iOs, TV and laptop can connect quite well. I'm using 1000M int...
I downgraded my firmware to V1.10.1.2 because that was the last firmware that didn't give me any issue. I remember 1.11 got me disconnected. Then I followed https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Firmware-V1-12-0-18-Discussion/td-p/1320421/page/5 to disable auto update.
Now my router and satellite works! My 5Ghz band connects and my S8+ doesn't disconnect anymore. None of my devices are having any issues so far. I have an Xbox One, PS4, August Doorbell Cam, Chromecast Utlra, 2 iPhone 6+, iPhone 7, 2 Samsung S8, Macbook Pro 15'' mid 2015, and a custom Desktop connected to the satellite via RJ45.
Sangwich:
Can you confirm downgrading to 1.10.1.2 still has fixed the problem for you?
I ask because after going through the telnet steps to stop auto-update, 1.10.1.2 still drops my S8 connection. Happened almost right away.
Also, someone mentioned you don't have to manually stop the auto-update process - I can confirm that after about 3 minutes on 1.10.1.2, my Orbi downloaded 1.12 and rebooted to start using it.
Doing the telnet steps stopped the auto-update process though.
