Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
As stated before, I performed several hard and soft reboots. I also started completely from scratch. The Orbi system is now boxed up and ready for donation.
I picked up an Eero system and I'm now back up and running quickly. I'm getting better coverage in "pocket" areas with the Eero.
Did the same - sold my Orbi on eBay... had enough of the poor release quality. I've had Eero for 3 weeks and it's completely stable and I have far better coverage. Not quite as fast, but only marginaly slower - stability trumps a small speed difference any day.
Hi,
sorry but your beta is really a beta...
i've installed it first day, factory reset router and satellite, and i don't see any difference between the beta and 2.0.1.4 (maybe this one was better...)
yesterday afternoon, with my ipad , playing a video via Plex, disconnected every 5 minutes (i was connected on satellite i think) . Turn off the satellite, video work fine.
Later in night, screen mirroring of my iphone (streaming a video from my nas) on my apple TV, both connected in router, not for a long time...disconnected ! the router reboot !
(Strange, Note that playing a video with a box connected with wire on the satellite seems to work nice for 1-2 hour, not disconnected )
There really a problem with the Orbi !
When i look at uptime from statistics page, it never goes after 1 day ! why it always restart !!!?
And when i see number in the table.... do you think WLAN backhaul can grow for always !?
i think number format has limited size ? (hope variable is 64bit to store it... )

it's me again...
System uptime reset to "0:0:0:0" 4 times in 2 hours, and the router has rebooted 1 time i think.
I have checked "Start Debug Log Capture when boot up" in debug.htm before this reset/reboot, so i have 4 files debug-log.zip if you want i can send you the logs ?
For example :
762.92 HYDR bandmon ERR : bandmonMBSAHandleRawMediumUtilizationUpdateEvent: Failed to resolve channel information for channel 108
763.92 HYDR bandmon ERR : bandmonMBSAHandleRawMediumUtilizationUpdateEvent: Failed to resolve channel information for channel 108
765.11 HYDR csh ERR : New shell session (2/5) using sd 36
765.92 HYDR bandmon ERR : bandmonMBSAHandleRawMediumUtilizationUpdateEvent: Failed to resolve channel information for channel 108...
767.10 HYDR csh ERR : shell read eof

I'm beginning to see somewhat of a pattern, AppleTalk devices seem to be producing the problems. Interesting.....
