Some people were saying the 1.11.0.N beta was helping with a lot of issues. There is a new version released, but the release notes don't list any fixes. Has anybody tried the new version to see if it improves things?
If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.
We released this firmware release to target some wireless connectivity issues on the RBR40 related SKUs (RBK40, RBK43, RBK30, etc), including the Macbook issue. As a reminder, we continuously to work to improve the wireless connectivity and performance and fix bugs that are brought to our attention.
Just hang in there. Det Currency beta is a huge step forward. I guess they didn’t had time to implement the beta stuff into the new fw but it shouldn’t take long for them to prepare a stable fw based on the latest beta.
The thing I find personally annoying about these releases is the version numbers seem completely arbitrary. Like we know 1.11.0.8 has a bunch of fixes that 1.11.0.20 does not. So why did they bother making it seem like it would by giving it a build number higher than the beta? I believe this isn't the first time this has happened either.
And don't even get me started with the lack of actual changelog; "fixed some bugs" is not a real changelog!!!
Can you please provide us instructions concerning "how to not update" to the new .20 version. Will Orbi not auto-update to this new version given the beta is .8.
You finally provide a working beta, and now you GA a newer version that does not have these fixes for connection drops???????????????????????

Really???????????
yes its auto update but it may take some time to populate the country servers , so just leave you orbi on and it will update by its self within the next dayt or so
So... even though the image file says RBR/RBS50-V1.11.0.8 it is actually x.x.x.80?
Just want to confirm, as I loaded .8 beta as provided by Netgear support 2 days ago, did a hard reset on both the satellites and router and then manually reconfigured everything again from scratch.
I did not load the prior saved config...
but I would hate to have it auto-update to .20 as I don't have a saved config for .8(0?) and it's a pain to do 12 DHCP reservations and reenter all the proper device names in the attached devices table.
Thanks for the assistance to date.

hi
you should never load a saved config from a previous firmware as this could potentially cause issues , you shouldnt have to anyway as the firmware doesnt clear the config or factory reset
if however you do factory reset you should always manually re enter data needed and not do a restore as you may also import config issues and other things that could cause stability and connection issues
LOL (not really), you are correct. with the beta 1.11.0.8 version loaded it wants to upgrade me to .20
Oh well,
DarrenM, let us know when we can reach out to support and ask for an updated beta that .20 won't update on us, please.
PettyTesting,
Support requested that after I loaded the beta I do a hard factory reset on all of the devices.
There is definitely a difference as after updating to .8 in the connected devices table it still showed 5G or 2.4G or Wired.
Then hard factory reset with .8 installed
Then the connected devices table only showed Wireless or Wired.
So... even though I updated to .8 something was hanging around until I did the hard reset.
I just presume that if I am willing to beta test, I should be willing to hard reset. No fun, but I want to give the firmware a fair shake as I have 61 devices attached of which only 9 are wired.
More problematic for me than all my Apple devices are a Wink Hub2 and an iSmart Alarm Spot camera (go figure).
I did a hard factory reset, as instructed. Not difficult.
Are you saying I should do it again? How many times?
Are you saying the Orbi .8 code (after a hard reset) doesn't have the inteligence to know it is the newer firmware, and it should ignore the 0.20, which is newer than 0.8?
