I purchased orbi last week, and so far things have gotten off to a bad start. I dl to the latest firmware(something like 1.08) right when i bought it last week. I'm not sure if i have a bad unit, but so far the bugs are:
1. Internet connection (wifi or ethernet) disconnects 1-2 times an hr. It would automatically re-establish the internet connection after 1-2 minuties.
2. Everytime i change a setting, Orbi resets and i loose internet connection from 1-2 minutes.
3. I setup a schedule where the wifi network shuts off at 10pm and re-establishes at 5am. But for some reason the connections turns off 1hr after the schedule time! Is there a time setting that i'm missing somewhere?
This is really unacceptable for a $400 device! I went from the ASUS AC5300 (which is was really rock solid for me, but i needed soemthing with better wifi coverage) I read up on the reviews for ORBI on youtube and amazon, and people seem to have nothing but praise for the Orbi. I thought maybe i received a bad unit, but after reading up on Netgear forums, you can see from other post this seems to be a common problem. Especially the internet connection issue.
Unfortunately i threw my box away or else i would have return the ORBI ASAP! I'm going to give it a few more weeks, and if a fix is not released, i'm chucking the Orbi and heading in a different direction.
