Hello Community...Curious......what Firmware version are you using? That has been Stable?This is for Orbi Pro AC3000 Wifi 5 Tri-band SRK60 (plus SRS60). The 2.6.2.xxxx versions have been quite buggy....I am currently on 2.5.5.100. It has been stable, without and mods...... Just curiois as to what others are running....and if your are experience problems..... Cheers....

Hi, I have a Orbi Pro SRK60 and 4 SRS60 satellites. And I can confirm that the firmware Netgear released the last year is an absolute nightmare.Version 2.6.0.108 was so so with frequent drops of connection and satellites going offline every 3 days are so. Even after switching off DDOS protection which makes matters worse; this router's firmware somehow DDOSes itself... go figure. Once firmware 2.6.2.200 came in, the system became totally unusable. Even with DDOS protection off, every 15 minutes or so, connections go haywire. So based on the tips in this thread, I decided to downgrade router and satellites all to 2.5.5.100 . It has been 7 days without problem.So those connection issues are 100% on the account on whomever writes firmware at Netgear. So, whomever else out there who is close to throwing this gear out of the window. Downgrade to 2.5.5.100 for stability. If security is a concern, put another stable brand router in front of this Netgear stuff. At least you can still use your investment in SRK60 and SRS60... Steven

I made following changes to enhance the situation and kept these also on 2.5.5.100: Port scan and DoS protection OFF (Install, WAN setup)NAT-filters: SIP ALG OFF (Install, WAN setup) - makes video calls a lot more stableTraffic meter OFF (Advanced settings)Implicit beamforming ON (Advanced wireless settings)Series topology ON (Advanced wireless settings)MU-MIMO ONAnd I separated the 2.4G and 5G networks in Install/Wireless settings/Wireless 2 - All non admin users go via Wireless 2 on either 2.4G or 5G. Devices that are 2.4Ghz go on the 2.4 wireless 2. Wireless is only used for network admin. and I gave each SRS60 satellite a fixed IP address Regards,Steven

1 SRR60 and 2x SRS60 -> fw 2.6.2.200 and since then instable (frequent client disconnects) -> this is so much a problem that I have shut them down and replaced with another brand device (still have my previous device).Coverage and speed of my replacement device are less but at least they are stable.Netgeat PLEASE fix the 2.6.2.200 ASAP!

Understand....I lost revenue because Netgear does not beta test...or apparently not.....I went thru two iterations of bad firmware with them. I hope they fired the "Engineers" that developed the software. I got tired of being a beta tester (PC Plumbing 101) for Netgear.....If I had one more ask of "please send us your Log Files.....Where is the Glock....I don't use Insights....waste of money. And 2.5.5.100 has been stable....no drops at all. Great hardware....but the software sucks.....Cheers......thanks for the reply....

I am a home business. Another area I checked was the modem. I made sure it was reflecting my “time zone”.Also I am using Google DNS. 8888 & 8844Once in a while I will clear the dns cache.I am not a techy type.Also I turned off the access control. I can check my setting in detail and post if you think that helps.
