Slow wireless speeds and disconnects with Orbi
I've had the Orbi system for several months now, and had some minor connectivity issues with my PC and iphone but overall it worked pretty great. I'm not sure what happened but as of the last couple ...
Well, the new firmware update from this week made the connection better for a day but now the fluctuating ping and slow speeds are back. Maybe it's time to return my unit and get a replacement. It's unacceptable that we have to deal with these issues especially with such an expensive piece of equipment.
I had a problem tonight with my AppleTV showing fuzzy images, then stopping, then back to normal. Happened several times in a half hour. Checked my modem: everything was fine there. Logged into the router and satellite. Both seemed working. But, I noticed the AppleTV was connected to the router, not the closer satellite. I rebooted the AppleTV and it connected to the satellite. No more problems.
I don't know how to force devices to connect to the nearest wifi source. And, I wish the router page showed which devices were connected to which wifi signal, rather than forcing me to check the satelite page in addition to the router page. I've had Orbi for four days. This is the second night I have Netflix feed stop and start.
