v2.1.3.4
My Orbi autoupgraded to v.2.1.3.4 this morning and I found tht ethernet backhaul no longer works. Is this expected behavior? Anyone else seeing this?
System was updated to V2.1.3.4, ever since my ipad does not maintain a steady wifi signal. Every few minutes it drops signal, not sure about my other Apple devices as the ipad is used for streaming movies and videos where the otthers are not. Tried all of the Base and Sat Resets, and factory reset, and ipad power cycle, but same issue.
Try using a manual channel 1, 6 or 11.
Set 40Mhz Coexistence only.
Try disabling Beamforming, MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Romaing and IPv6 on the router.
Try setting WPA2 and PSK AES Only.
What iOS is loaded on the iPad?
And you did factory reset and set up from scratch on the router and satellite right?

Thanks Furrye,
I've made all of your suggested adjustments and the iPad wifi connection now appears to be stable. Seems to be a lot of manual settings to work with an iPad, btw iOS 9.3.5, it's an older iPad but most current iOS for the model.
Good to hear and know. Thanks for letting us now. Ya, iOS 9 is getting old now so there maybe some features that don't work well with older iOS. I have an iPhone and iPad as well on 9.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
