Re: FINALLY got the ORBI not to drop connection!

Is there a running log of bugs and user experience issues?  This way it would be easier to track in one location versus reading through all the threads. IMHO

Hi petey ... are you saying that the 0.20 fw update enables auto update?

Hey petey ... you're not the only one. No issues outside of the need to manually update firmware at the beginning out of the box. Other than that ... rock solid here.

hi ralph

 

and this seems to be the issue , we have 2 camps

 

those that the orbi works perfectly from day 1

 

those that have nothing but issues

 

it is my opinion thatthe dev team should look at why we have such good orbi setups and work from there rather than look at the worse case and figure it out rom there

 

i would rather have a fast car and make the rest as fast as it than have a slow car and try and make it fast

 

bit of nonsense logic but im my mind it works

If there's data the team needs for the "no issues" camp ... I'm open to help.

I am one of the people who has issues almost from the beginning.  Out of the box it worked great for about 24 hrs.  I suspect (But cannot confirm) that it updated the firmware.  From then on it has been repeatedly dropping connection.  I have tried all the fixes listed:

Movng the satellite,  Cutting down on the 2.4 ghz power,  turning on and off beam forming and MU-MIMO, restarted the router countless times.  I am not getting ready to try it in AP mode.  

I had a ticket out with NetGear but they closed it without resolving it.  

does anyone know where the beta software is that is supposed to fix this issue?

Hello Everyone

 

We have release firmware version 1.12.0.18 this firmware has fixes for disconnects and many more I posted the release notes below.

 

https://kb.netgear.com/000044171/RBR50-Firmware-Version-1-12-0-18

 

If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

Thanks
