Data drops with Circle enabled on Orbi
When I enabled Circle and moved certain constant data devices as "unmanaged" these devices continue to drop data. Unmanged devices should have no filtering or restrictions through Circle. One impor...
inteller , Jeremyinsf , it will be interesting to see if the new beta software fixes the Circle-related issues.
I'm now testing a beta software and it looks to fix many of the issues related to stability, wired devices, access control and much more. Good feedback on the software so far. Did not see any feedback regarding Circle for this software. Please PM to ChristineT to get the links to download the software and test it.
I am a bit behind with posting updates on my testing, but, I can confirm that the issue seems 'better' on the new beta but I still encounter it from time to time. While on the beta my router started rebooting regularly/randomly so I reverted away from it for now.
Overall, it does seem like a better build as many items are corrected. I put up a long post about that in another thread. I don't think Armor provides enough value to actually charge for it though. Also it's still buggy so the one thing that was identified as a concern on my network - it had zero information on.
Also yes, agreed, there were no release notes even when we were told that we would get them, and it seems that there is little engagement with reported issues.
oh they want to engage, they slither into my DMs and want me to beta test junk. I will not be a beta tester on something that should already work!
so no improvement with new firmware 2.30.0.28. You enable Circle and within 15 minutes or so my IOT device starts to drop communication and eventually knocks offline.
Back to the drawing board boys and girls....
AAAAAAND.....still not fixed with 2.3.1.48...
I. Also experiencing this issue. I have firmware 23148. I turned off circle and still have the issue. Do I also need to reboot or go through a new setup to completely disable?
I have the same issue when Circle is enabled.Without Circle, no dropping of the wifi anymore. Although it works as a temperary workaround, this is not a fix!
- It isnt dropping wifi, it is dropping requests that unmanaged devices are trying to make.
And STOP messaging me netgear! I WILL NOT be your product tester/fixer! I PAY you to figure these things out! Fix this junk! It is happening for both managed and unmanaged devices for me, not sure what it is doing but no device can access the internet anymore when the issue occurs. It does restore after some minutes.
