Any updates on how to help Orbi from intermittently disconnecting from internet? IT\ts terribly frustrating and completely unacceptable for a device to cost this much and have such poor performance.
I am having the exact same issue and its very frustrating, especially after spending over $800 on the initial bundle plus 2 more sattelites. The cable company has been out twice and even replaced my router. I have done everything suggested on here: Router has no Wifi so there is no "competing" between the router wifi and the Orbi. I have updated all my units to version 2.1.4.16. I have reset with a paperclip to factory setting and re-ran a new setup. I have scanned what channels are frequently used by my neighbors and changed both channels for 2.4 and 5 to be the least used in my area. The router STILL drops, especially at night. Almost like clockwork every night at 9:20 PM we can't get on and I have to reset the Orbi. When the Orbi is completely unplugged, internet is up and running perfectly via ethernet connection direct to my Arris router.
I have a RBR50, 2 of the RBS50's and a RBW30. When connected we get speeds over 90 Mbps (we pay for 100).
Depending upon building materials, some users have posted 50-60feet. Mines currently 40 feet in between. The router alone can conver up to 30 feet on it's own. This is just another factor to consider. I'm hoping that maybe changing from auto to manual channels 1, 6 or 11 will be the man factor here...
How do I do this? Im not amazingly high tech with IT. Thats why its frustrating when you pay this kind of money for device and then have to work so hard to make it work.
Why would I have to set up individual IP addresses? I feel that dumping Netgear is going to be the end result. Its a terrible problem!!
