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 can finally confirm that my Verizon S8 finally works without disconnect after todays Verizon update - It has been stable for the past 4 hours without a single drop in connection - I have walked all over my yard and through my home trying to get it to not respond.. I am also on the BETA firmware which had been working about the same up until the Verizon update this afternoon.
I have turned down the 2.4 intensity to 50% so that it stays connected to my 5 ghz more and I only have a couple 2.4 ghz devices
I even got full signal 100' into my backyard and speedtest'd with full DL and full UL speeds.
Here are my advanced settings:
I can confirm that the Verizon update today fixed the issue for me. I am on .18 Orbi (not beta) and I didn't touch settings. Just disconnected from guest Network and connected to main. Been stable and fast for a few hours now. Will report back on thread if things change.
- Updated Verizon S8 today and working on main Network so far. Good luck everyone, let's hope this is the fix.
I'm on the main network with the new verizon update, seems stable as well. Thank god!
Updated Verizon s8+ which according to the release notes contains no changes to wifi at all. Still periodic disconnects with all other devices previously mentioned.Well, after a very understanding coversation with a manager at Best Buy, they graciously agreed to allow me to return my Orbi and purchase something else. I've now had 2 Samsung Connect Home Pro hubs hooked up for roughly 3 hours, zero disconnects so far.
- My S8+ is working rock-steady on the main non-Guest SSID now too after the Verizon update today!
- My VZ S8 seems stable on main network after that update. I cannot reproduce the issue anymore. Hope it will stay this way.
I'll keep monitoring but it's good news. On my Samsung Galaxy s8+ today I went into "Settings" then selected "System Update" it said new update available I downloaded and installed it and so far no drops yet in wifi on phone, will monitor only been a few hrs since update. Have verizon phone.
- I've had no problems with the S8 since the update yesterday. I wonder what they fixed?
spinkick good question no idea what they fixed the release notes are kind-of vague nothing explicitly points to wireless or wifi fix, it is one of them magical "fixes/enhancements" that Firmware addresses but no one knows exactly what it is...for me it is working now so happy it was really frustrating drops in wifi constantly on the phone...fingers crossed!
