What you can expect with your Orbi system
I'm writing this mainly because a post like this would have saved me a lot of time and effort. If you're thinking about buying an Orbi system, or recently purchased one, here's a few things you can e...
Hi. I'm currently looking at purchasing the Orbi and I came across this thread.
I was mainly looking at the RBK33 3-pack, with the main router and 2 small satellites. My house is quite long and thin and the router is on one end. Most usage would be in the center of the house, but it would be nice to have a boost in the laundry room/garage, so I was investigating mesh solutions.
I'm not sure if the latest firmware revision - 2.1.4.16 - is newer or older than the last post here, but if it is newer, I'm wondering: Does it address the issues that OP was describing?
Thanks.
v.16 is the most current version of FW. Theres nothing newer. Yet.
This post is a few months old and theres been FW updates since then. You can check out there release notes for each FW update to see if anything is addressed.
There maybe differences between your 33 series and the OP 50 series so there maybe problems not seen with the model you have. If any. Something you'll have to try and see what happens.

Thanks for your response, FURRYe38, but I am looking for any first-hand experience from the posters in this thread who were previously experiencing this low-level issue, to see if the firmware updates have made a difference for them. Especially the very knowledgeable OP who looks like he has gone above and beyond with his research and testing on the issue.
Hopefully someone will respond. Again, there maybe differences between 33 series and 50 series models
Good Luck.

Sorry, but I've moved onto a different product after experiencing these issues for several weeks without a concrete solution.
