Okay, fine, I give up, you're right, of course. Still in Beta, but it is their current official release.

I have discovered "edit" as you may have surmised in the last few minutes. Sorry for the flurry.

I couldn't find a way to edit my previous reply, but this turned out to not be an issue with the Orbi firmware update. My latency problems were caused by my ISP (Com Hem Sweden) temporarily disabling its native IPv6 support. This caused Orbi to start using 6to4 tunneling and the latency introduced was from my ISP's 6to4 tunnel, not from the Orbi update. I disabled IPv6 support in Orbi's settings for now and the latency went away.

Hi, since the new upgrade I have experienced losing internet connection, constant drop out of the orbi Wi-fi network espically on iPad and i phone. It’s really frustrating as this network should be rock solid, I have 1 Orbi router and 3 satellite units.

Hello Jdewar

 

Have you tried to factory reset the unit since updating to the latest firmware also are you using 2.1.3? if not you can find that firmware in this thread below.
