Wow!!! Orbi Firmware V2.0.0.72 Released
Just logged into my router and it gave me the option to upgrade the firmware.
Have now Upgraded to V2.0.0.72
Haven’t had too much time to explore but early indications are WOW !!!
...
bum - I decided to go into the office today instead of working at home ! Now I miss all the excitement !
Interesting to use the phrase daisy-chain instead of mesh. Does that mean this evolves to an extended start-type configuration instead of a true mesh ? Not sure it makes much difference to me either way, just curious.
Was using a wired machine and just lost connection. I knew it was a FW update!
So daisy chain is enabled now? That's cool. Does it require a manual setup or qill router and satelites detect and auto configure the best configuration?
And it's ok to enabled all 3 now:
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices
Enable MU-MIMO
Enable Fast Roaming
to me, enable implicit beamformer making internet speed slower
This update is great but something I love to have
1. Realtime network moniter/meter by device
2. Enable/disable 2.4 band
3. QOS

I think this FW will get Netgear pointed in the right direction. I still believe they were focused on their HW offerings and not the FW to drive these units. Now that they are selling "Pro" devices i strongly believe your wish list and a lot more will be comming down the pipeline. They really needed to get this production ready FW out the door as a basis for further development
Probably a dumb question but what does Fast Roaming actually do? I assume I should turn that on?
