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...
Since the same problem exists for many other devices (iOS, Surface, etc), it's not likely.

It could be very likely. Samsung's forum has a thread filled with Orbi users who have the disconnect issue. Reboots and resets fixed my issues with all my other devices (iOS, Surface, etc) but my S8 Plus was the last device that just kept disconneting no matter what. I have been testing it for several hours all over my property and I have not had one single disconnect. If this holds I will chalk it up to Samsung fixing what Netgear broke with their device.
I received un update on my phone today not sure from whom....verizon or samsung... BUT my galasxy S8+ has been connected to ORBI wifi for 2 hours now without any issues. I have been checking it every 15 minutes to make sure it is connected to ORBI and it is. I will UPDATE tomorow around this time regardless......(Central Time).
- That's great! Which version/build?
- That sounds promising, but it sounds like so far only Sprint and Verizon users? I have the unlocked version, checked today and no updates.
- Still no update from Verizon for me.
The issues with the S8 seem to happen from the last samsung update people are reporting that they updated again and not having issues with the phone on orbi. Some ISPs may have not pushed out the update yet I would keep checking.

Darren,
The issues with Alexa, Surface Pro (2017)'s, S7's, and Chromecasts all happen at the same moment. The S8+ problems are identical, and all problems began with 1.11.x.
