Running the Orbi and one Sat on latest sw, single floor home, sat is aprox 35 ft away from main... data thru put is good, getting same speeds as main unit.
But, Seeing a streaming problem only to an Ipad gen 3 from the Sat... ( not seeing it on other devices ). Ipad running on 5 ghz channel no more than 20 ft away from Sat unit.
About every 10 mins, the Sat seems to be dropping out and of course stopping the data ( which stops the streaming video ). It does rehook automatically back into the 5 ghz channel after about 15-20 secs. Also of note, is I don't see the drop out at other times , only when streaming video.
Anyone else have a problem with the Orbi and Ipads... and/or ideas ?
It does seem to be more apparant with the latest version of sw, tho not sure if it also occured with the last version.( they were a 10 days or so apart )
Can you try to revert back to the .16 Fw and see if the dropouts are happening I am trying to find out if the Firmware is the issue or its something more. I linked the Firmware page below so you can manually revert back.
I've also seen what I would classify as the same brief wifi discoonect issue on iphone and apple tv. The devices are associated with a satelite, not the router and have very very strong signal strengths right to the point where the condition occurs.
Similarly, my airplay speakers from iHome have not operated cleanly like they have in the past. They will work fine for 30-45 minutes and then the sound either stutters and then resumes or stutters and then speaker stops (as if it dropped off the network).
Overall performance and coverage is great if we can get Netgears help knocking out these occasional wifi disconnects that would be absolutely awesome.

ios devices have stayed connected over the past 36 hours, will keep testing.
nest cameras stay connected as long as the mu-mimo and other advanced option are unchecked (tested on .16 & .18). This devices run and report issues 24X7
airplay speaker connections more reliable with the cts/rtf setting knocked down to 2346. today it took the speakers 1-2 mins to settle in to a solid connection, which was a bit of a worry.
Satelite and router connection details are inconsistent
more robust mesh and client connection health details would help address lots of customers questions
Checking the advanced options actually seemed to reduce the frequency for me, but still occurs several times an hour. Same issue, .18 firmware on an IPad Pro (12"). It's only really apparent when using things that need constant connectivity, such as games. Tried connectivity in vicinity of router and satellite. Both seem to have the issue.
Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)
I have also gone back to.16 Firmware and it has helped with the iOS devices with random drops, the drops still occur but a lot less frequent, please do pass this on to Engineering so they can address in next Firmware release.
Running .18, I've not experienced network drops since before Christmas. What has my attention is beamfirming with nest and more stability with airplay speakers.
Same here with iPad Air 2 running iOS 10.2.1 and firmware .34. Any update, Netgear? Totally unacceptable that some of the most popular devices in United States don't function properly. This $500 sale may have to go back to Costco due to product defects.
