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...
Luisfernan same issue for my s8+ I am on verizon and have RBR50, not sure what Netgear Engineering is doing to address if anything at all.
JMU1998 it doesn't matter if it's Verizon, Att or t mobile, it's the update Samsung did on July that it's not working with orbi. Just try the guest connection

Just try the guest connectionI've been using the guest SSID for a month, and while more stable than the primary, it experiences the same problems a few days after resetting the orbi to defaults.
I've found the same. Guest network doesnt disconnect but its still kind of flakey. I'm going to try to get Verizon to send me a new phone with old firmware to test the other guys results.
I have a hunch based on screwing with the situation for almost 45 days. The router is extremely stable for a few hours after a complete reset to factory defautls and reconfiguration. It gradually degrades over time following that...
Having reset the router numerous times since 1.11.x, that's been my experience anyway.
In fact, when the first .12 release for which I helped beta test, it was rock solid for several WEEKS UNTIL, I reset the Orbi due to installing new UPS's. Then it went flaky as all get out again, just like on 1.11.x.
Just FYI, I previously stated this began with 1.10, which was a typo, I meant 1.11.x.
- Retired_Member so far it's been working flawless on my s8. But I haven't reset my orbi so that might make a difference. I won't until it drops the Wi-Fi
Luisfernan why should I try guest connection I have no need for guest radio turned on to pollute my already congested environment with more interference. turning on guest connection is not an acceptable solution for my scenario.
- JMU1998 Mr. Environment do whatever you want I just told a solution in the mean time either return your phone or your router and no more pollution
Luisfernan returning phone is an option returning Orbi is not I got it when it came out. Not being able to reduce power on radios or turn off radios not being used is something Netgear removed which baffles me. I try not to be selfish and blast my router radio in all directions if I am not using them or have no need just contribute to the pollution/interference in your surroundings/neighbourhood/network environment.
