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 ...
I'm still running beta V2.0.1.2. Noticeable differences between this and subsequent releases:
- 5Ghz band covers greater distance
- Faster WiFi speeds - Wi-Fi Sweetspots shows about 525Mbits/sec
- No disconnects
- Daisy chain works - later releases try to connect both sats to the router
I would urge the dev teams to go back to this as a stable release to build on and scrap other subsquent ones.
Seems that v2.1.3.4 is the most stable out of anything so far. I presume once this has been tested fully, NG may push to this to auto FW updates depending if they need to make any other FW changes before then.
