The end of iOS disconnections after changing one setting
After returning my orbi due to iOS disconnections I purchased a velop which I wasn't happy with. I decided to try orbi again and got a replacement. As with the first orbi unit, the disconnections ...
Why did you return the velop? Why didn't you like it? I'm going to be returning Orbi for Velop if they can't confirm wired backhaul is in the works for Orbi.
The only reason I returned the velop was in my house it struggled to give a good connection at the far end (which I needed as have a external nest cam at that corner of the house). This was using a pack of 3.
Also I found the speed throughput much slower than orbi.
I think what I am learning from using these systems is that one system may work well In one persons house and behave completely different in another building, so I would say try the velop and see if it works for you (if you are sure that the orbi is not suitable in your environment).
Also just a update my disconnections have started again. For the interim period until a update hopefully fixes, I'm considering turning off the wireless on orbi and put in AP mode. Turn the wifi back on my isp router/modem and then in the corner of my house where my sat is I'm going to plug in a airport express wired to the sat to try to get signal to my nest cam. I presume then I can also get the benefit of orbi speed from the main unit back to the sat and then hardwire Ethernet from the sat to my iMac in my office.
