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...
I'm still shocked mine is so stable. Are you guys the exception or am I? I'm still running the production firmware. Love to know what the difference is. Is it too many competing networks close by? I can only see a few.
I just added another lg tv and a couple more heos wifi speakers and a nvidia ahield pro. No disconnects at all that I can tell.

Ts937km,
I am happy for you. Really, I am.
As for possible interference and/or bad locations, etc, etc.
I have an ASUS RT3200 currently running my 6 IP Cameras and now my security system without a single drop. It ran my entire home for over a year without a SINGLE problem. Yes, it looks a bit ugly. My wife and visiting friends would ask, “What’s that?” Not in a pleasing way either.
But it worked!
My remaining 1 of 2 RT3200s is parked 3 feet from the Orbi Satellite. Only location I could use.
I have disabled the RT3200 5G radios to avoid ANY Orbi 5G interference. I have parked the Orbi 2G on Channel 4. ASUS parked at channel 11. No overlap! 20Mhz ONLY! And Orbi had these problems before I re-introduced my ASUS because Orbi was droping my IP Cameras every 30 seconds. So Netgear should make NO ATTEMPT to blame the ASUS.
Yes, I live near other humans with WIFI. Roughly 7-10 competing APs.
BUT, My ASUS handled it without problems for over a year. Never showed any concerns of the competing wireless APs near me.
I chose Orbi because it looked better visually, promised simplicity, and quality. I felt Netgear was going to give me the best of TWO WORLDS. The quality and awesomeness of ASUS I had come to know, but the beauty and simplicity that Netgear promised.
My brother-in-law, which I gave my second RT3200 to, after buying Orbi, has had it for 6 months. I just spent 4 days in his 3500SF home. ONE ASUS RT3200 for his WHOLE HOME! NOT ONE PROBLEM. I sat at his dinner table to do some work. WOW! WIFI-Calling fast and stable for 4-5 hours. No drops on ANYTHING!
So, to say that Orbi cannot handle the same conditions that my two ASUS RT3200s handled for over 1 year in my home. And now, one of them, is handling itself perfectly in another home with more than 20 BSSIDs competing.
Ummm…..Sorry…Not buying it.
