Samsung Galaxy S8 not working on Orbi RBR40
Galaxy S8 keeps connecting Orbi wifi with message "internet may not be available" then logging off again but all other devices including iOs, TV and laptop can connect quite well. I'm using 1000M int...
I am beyond frustrated and have wrote reviews on Amazon and Costco for people to stay away from this product - It is unstable and unusable for the past month. Support is slow and non-helpful.
writing negative reviews may be the only way to insure this will get fixed. Companies are in business to make money if they get negative reviews they start listening. I will do the same
Too many fake 5 star reviews...
Anyway, the Verizon August update for the S8/S8+ was just delivered. As I expected, a disconnected happened within about 10 minutes of receiving it. The problem isn't an S8/S8+ problem only.
- Nobody it saying it's an s8 problem only. There are likely two issues here. One being the firmware problem in orbi, and the one dealing with the Wifi issues the S8 is experiencing, that isn't just happening on the orbi. That's why this thread exists outside of the orbi thread going on.
Was there a radio baseband update on the S8? If not, that would explain the Wifi being just as bad.
I realize people are upset about the orbi firmware but we need to make sure that confirmation bias doesn't cloud our data and we mix two different issues together. I'd wait for somebody on Verizon with 'S8 only problem' to chime in. I can check later today when I'm back home.
My problem is only with the S8 and I have Verizon. all other devices work fine
