Dear Readers,
My problem since day 1 of buying the Orbi 852 set in begin 2021;
A continuesly 15 to 20 seconds Wifi Signal drops on the Satellite (tests done via EMCO Ping tool, running on a window 11 workstation, via wifi connected to this Orbi RBS Satellite, with or course, LAN disabled)
After months of frustration, and several official NG Firmware updates, with the same results, I decided to implement the BETA releases, mentioned by FURRYe38 .
Result:
Both RBR and RBS on FW version 4.6.6.11 : Same Problem
Both RBR and RBS on FW version 4.6.7.5 : Same Problem
(Yes ,every FW upgrade and downgrade action done with full factory reset and powering down both devices for more than an hour, as advised by FURRYe38 , many times in various splendid written posts…Kudo’s for that FURRYe38 )
A downgrade of the RBS Satellite to 4.6.6.11 did the trick: I have a stable set now, no more wifi drops on the satellite since a more than a week, this without any reboot of the RBR and RBS …
The RBR router is still on the 4.6.7.5. version.
I know that the advise is to keep both of the hardware items on the same version of the FW, but for me this works the best.
Did you try a full factory reset on the RBR and RBS after applying the FW versions you loaded? Something that may be needed next time. You should be using same version of FW on both RBR and RBS.
I saw zero issues with mine loaded on v5.
yes I did, and I did a full config afterwards, no restore of a backup file..
For now I keep it like it is, and wait for the official release of the new version firmware
Any idea when this is going to be pushed into production? I am still running V4.6.5.14_2.0.54T4 on my RBS with V4.6.3.16 on three satellites. I would rather not have to mess around with updating beta firmware if the issues I have had (and still have to a degree as other do as well) are not resolved.
Checking the devices from the admin firmware update page shows no new updates avaialble.
EDIT: V4.6.3.16 looks to be the last released official firmware on 9/17/2021. Amazing considering all that has transpired across a few firmware issue related threads.
