I haven't here.
I dont understand how. Everything I upgrade firmware it is a constant intermittent drop of singal. How does anyone have a clean install. I'm at my wits end and am thinking of switching to a different router system.
I downgraded to 4.6.11 last night and it was super fast, like a new setup 1.2mps initially then waking up this am I see pink lights. After a power cycle, it's back to 700-800mbps which is still good but why do I have to power cycle for stability?
The orbi app just sucks and works on/off. Support sucks. The community is way better than paid support.
I'll post my config later but what is the problem? Is there a recommended configuration post somewhere that offers stability?
Is it better on different routers? Do I have to look downstream to my modem potentially causing a conflict?

- Hi pcovi,
I totally feel your pain. Orbi, given its superior technology and high price point, is basically the Lamborghini of routers; but like a Lamborghini, it has a lot of issues.
I had the same issue. I recently resolved it (a week of stability so far) by *manually* upgrading to the latest firmware - satellites first and then router. Doing an auto update to this exact same firmware gave me the disconnect issues.
In a way, I wish I spent half the price and got the eero router instead of Rbr750, but I'm glad things are a bit better now.. Hope this resolves your issue too.Auto Update has been problematic since day one IMO. Why we pushed NG for control over this.
I recommend if a system needs updating, manually updating is the way to go.- Sure. I did ma ually update to the latest firmware. Rbs first the. Rbr. That's when I experienced the inconsistencies. So what I did was manually downgrade back to 4.6.11.
So far today, i woke up with a pink light in the rbr. At which point i opensed the orbi app and it went away. Since then it has been better. Speeds are up there in the orbi app ( latest test close to a satellite showed 1000mbps). I'm on 4.6.11.
Is the recommended best practice to make ualky update the first warw, then factory reset and reload your configuration file each time you update firmware?
I'm wondering if my configuration is off and that's what is causing the frequent drops.
