Orbi WiFi 6 Router AX6000 / RBR850 New Firmware V3.1.6.11_1.1.5
What is new? My wish list: 1.Wireless connectivity to Orbi Outdoor WiFi Range Extender (RBS50Y) since it is only wireless with no Ethernet ports. 2. Wireless connectivity to RBS50 satellite. It wa...
I actually had the exact same issue.
There is a firmware bug with the new AX Orbis and 1080p Apple TV on wifi connected to the Router. I have another 4K Apple TV connected to the Satellite which didn’t seem to have the issue.
It somehow breaks streaming entirely and there’s no good fix except rebooting the AppleTV and Orbi. I actually switched back to my AC Orbis for a while and almost returned the AX until I saw the new firmware.
I THINK the new firmware fixes it though. I upgraded to the latest, then did a factory reset of both the router and satellite. Things have been MUCH more stable all around. The previous firmware had some random issues where my WiFi6 iPhone would stall and require me to turn on and off wifi. And my Nest cameras would occasionally lose connection.
But with the latest firmware (and factory reset) it’s been rock solid!
I’m using the default settings for everything pretty much, WPA 2.

Thanks for letting us know the new FW and factory reset helped get you going.
Enjoy.
