Recently upgraded to the new Wifi 6 Orbi System (RBR850) after being very happy with the original. Ever since upgrading, my Nest Protects have had connection issues. First it was just one that was no...
I have the RBK842 WiFi 6 Orbi mesh system. I initially connected my Nest Protects, thermostats, cameras without issue. Since then, they randomly disconnect and require me to reconnect them. A simple reboot of the router does not fix the issue. As safety is a priority, I will likely have to return the Netgear Routers.
Just noticed the system was recently updated and that has improved things somewhat. I'm seeing the Protects consistently 'connected' in the Nest app now but they still show the yellow light when they do their nightly check which indicates they are not actually connected. Also, one of the one's that is wired is not showing as fine in the Nest app but not as connected in the list of devices on the Orbi app. Progress but still not 100.
