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...
Add me to the list having problems with constant dropping of internet connection on a Galaxy S8+ (WiFi connected with exclamation point). I am on the latest firmware for both the Orbi (1.12.0.18) and my T-Mobile S8+. It only seems to happen when I am connected to one particular satellite in my house. Disabling WiFi and re-enabling it on the phone seems to allow it to have internet access for a brief second. Other devices connected to the satellite work without issue.
I seemed to have fixed my dropping connection on my S8 by resetting each satellite with a paperclip then re-syncing the satellite to the router.. I will keep you posted.
I don't have any satellites and am on v.18. I've full factory resets of the router to no avail. Hopefully this can be fixed soon, it's annoying.
My Samsung S8 drops wifi with the orbi router, since the last update from netgear.
We need a fix. This is a netgear problem
I can confirm also my new Samsung S8 Plus (version) is exhibits same issue factory reset did not help. I have no use for guest wireless so I can't turn it on to add additional interference to my environment they already took away the ability to adjust radio power and turn off no needed radios. no I will not turn on guest wireless need proper fix paid $500 got a half cooked meal!
UPDATE - after resetting each satellite with a paperclip then re-syncing the satellite to the router.. - Still having problems..

My S8 connection problems started again this morning so whatever my resets did were temporary.
I have setup guest wifi for the time being and this has worked until they get this fixed.
