Since this firmware update, 4.6.9.11, all my devices have kept dropping off the network. Having issues with Kasa plugs and my cameras. I did a factory reset and still having the same problem. I called Netgear, and they said others are having the issue and go back to Firmware 4.6.8.5. I was still waiting for second-level support to call.
Interesting. I just bought the 853 and set it up only to discover my Kasa plugs and bulbs are having constant disconnects. Thought maybe it just wasn’t compatible with my IOT goodies. I was planning to return the Orbi this weekend, but maybe it’s just a firmware bug.
Hi all. While this gets researched by the manufacturer (potentially indicated below), might it be a good time to ensure all the IoT devices have had their own firmware checked and updated if available?
Just to cover all possibilities.
Have rbk852 with Kasa hs103/Hs105 plugs. Zero problems with new firmware.
RBS853, 4100sqft, just updated to 4.6.9.11 a week or so ago. Wanted to wait and see if there were (m)any problems. I have lots of devices and appliances connected via wifi including some Kasa plugs. All good here. I mentioned the house size and number of satellites because it was stated earlier only 1 satellite was needed. We needed 2 perhaps due to the layout of the house but all seems well.
Glad it's working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
