Hi. I have a similar setup....Router plus a Sat.....looking at getting another Sat soon as prices contine to fall.
1. The 2.6.xxxx Firmware is extremely buggy.....To bad they didnt mention that......
There are posts all over this community about the problems with the 2.6.xxxx. Firmware.
Netgear even had to post a fix......Pretty lame.......
So if you are not using Insight, the Orbi app works just fine...
I am Blazing along at my adertised speed from my ISP with out any problems....
We are teaching online via zoom....no problems.....watching movies.....not problem.....
The fix is to downgrade the firmware to 2.5.5.100.....Untill they post a fix....
My suggestion would be not to jump on the firmware wagon too soon. Check with the post in the Orbi Pro Community....
Save yourself a lot of time......And if you have a business, save some money......
Netgear does not handle their business solution to well from an IS Support....and their firmware ....well .????
Put it this way, I am not a PC Plumber.....I have a business to run......Good luck
- ErikblMay 11, 2021AspirantThe orbi app on the phone only sees 20 devices while fing sees 43.
I have changed the orbi"pro" to access point and reused my reliable Asus RC-86U as a router and now the orbi app shows 46 devices connected, all devices get an ip address.!!!
Conclusion the SRR60 is an unreliable router with firmware 2.6.2.200. has a Dhcp problem. It looks like an old bug has been released again
