Jun 03, 2017I'd like to believe Netgear is working on this too but if you look back through the threads, these exact issues were happening 8 months ago. This is their flagship device for home networking and it's a complete lemon!
Flash008, your results after turning off the satellite correspond exactly with the backhaul dropping issue due to bad hardware. Have you installed an app like Wi-Fi analyzer and watched your backhaul? I guarantee you it looks like an EKG.
I hope Netgear enjoys their good sales, because they are creating a ton of customers like myself that will never be ripped off by their products again.

Funny , I've tried Wifi analyzer and don't see the dropout that others see... it is basically consistant... farely stable
Look , by any means I am not a router expert... my forte is in wifi cameras and arlo wifi cams..... I've been dealing with the same issues as others as to the Orbi.
What I can say is the latest debug FW ( 1.11.0.2) , has solves all my issues without any other changes...why, I really have no clue , I just know it works for me.
But it still is interesting to see a wide varied response to so many users with or without the same issue
