Update V1.9.1.12 Netgear officially announcing 'Improvement in wireless connection Stability'

TheBishop,

I have been enjoying a wonderful long weekend and time with family. Something I normally do when my technology behaves and works as it should.

I have not had the time the past 4-5 days to play with new Netgear firmware.

I will say, again, that the 3 weeks old Beta is still running and has brought my Orbi back to the 1.8.x level, which is not perfect, but far better than 1.9.x.

The new firmware they provided publicly did not last long due to Netgear providing me a new beta mid last week. Unfortunately, I have not had time to play with it. I only installed it once and it broke my 2.4G radio, which forced to be roll back to the older beta almost immediately.

I may have time tomorrow to try it again.

But this needs to end SOON. Like, VERY, VERY SOON!!!!

How many beta’s does it take to make this Orbi work? And how much of our time are we willing to invest? My answer is simple and consistent. They have until June. If we (I) are still suffering disconnects, and Netgear shows they are not listening to the customer, etc. I am done.

Funny, I had two ASUS RT3200s. One I kept and is currently handling my IP Cameras for almost 2 months since the Orbi caused drops every 30 seconds with them. The IP Cameras have been stable for 2 months on the ASUS RT3200.

The second RT3200, I gave to my brother-in-law shortly after buying Orbi. He has a large 3200SF home. The old WIFI DLink he had wasn’t handling his home too well and his wife and kids HAD very bad nose-bleed sections of the home. I have been visiting with his family since last Wednesday watching my nephew graduate high school with a full ride scholarship to NAU and one other. I had 5 hours of conference calls and other work to do while visiting my family. NOT ONE WIFI CALLING DROP. NOT ONE iPHONE, OR IPAD DROP. NOT ONE. Everything works beautifully! And he has 25 competing BSSIDs showing in my WIFI list. Lots of interference. Not one PROBLEM. NOT ONE!

I wonder if it would be a jerk move to ask for my RT3200 back. LOL! Joking.
