Update V1.9.1.12 Netgear officially announcing 'Improvement in wireless connection Stability'
Just downloaded the latest release V1.9.1.12 and noticed in the official release notes from Netgear it states as fix 'Continious Improvement in wireless connection stability'..Dosent spefically makre...
Thank You Cafetom for the reply,
I used bad English. Sorry.
What I mean is "OPEN" = advanced options to control band and Orbi device steering. And other advanced options found on most mid-high tier consumer WIFI routers/APs.
I highly suspect device and band steering is the main problem for disconnects. Also allow the 2.4G and 5G BSSID to be separated, along with disabling auto-updates. Look at 1.9.x and the problems it is causing. How do most non-techy users stop Orbi from updating to a code level that clearly should be pulled from the update servers?
So yes, OPEN may be the wrong word.
I sound like a broken record now. Maybe if I repeat the same thing 100 times Netgear will listen. HA HA HA! Did you hear about the kid you wrote a letter to Stanford with only, "Black Lives Matter" 1000 times. He got accepted. Finally, we know the secret to get the attention of large organizations.
1.9.1.12 has been almost perfect for me and I re-enabled beam forming etc. only seen a single disconnect in three days.
I am happy for you. Truly!
You are further proof that a single configuration may work for some, but not all. But our “friends” at Netgear cannot get it through their thick heads that Orbi is too locked down.
Advanced settings and information need to be opened to the user, so I can find the configuration that works best for my home.
