New firmware released 1.11.0.20
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...

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.

im just saying you should never use a saved config file from an older fw version on a new fw version as it could and might currupt the current fw

should i even apply this new firmware? i've seen nothing but issues with it from the Orbi community.
ive ever really experienced any network disconnects, but i'm pretty annoyed that my devices can't/won't switch between the router and satellite. i've also seem some lag/buffering when using amazon fire box (currently on V1.10.1.2). - MichaelsoftJun 26, 2017Star
I've noticed no improvements with the beta firmware. Disconnects wer never really my biggest problem so it may have fixed that, I am not sure. My problem is the slow/flucuating speeds that I've narrowed down to Orbi being the cause. I think you should still try the beta because it may work for you like many people are reporting but there are still problems that need to be addressed. Good luck!
