New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Just wanted to let you guys / others know that the latest firmware (34) has solved so many of my problems. I no longer seem to get connection drops on my Apple products (my MacBook Air would lose the connection when it was within 3 feet if the router before) and the overall speed/throughput seems to be improved also.

I went from 18 to 34 and so can't comment, but I would think you can skip to the latest as this is how most hardware firmware updates should work

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Updated this morning to latest version 1.4.0.34 and no ios disconnections for a hour. Started dropping again multiple times since. Also still have disconnection issues with Nest cams if beamforming option turned on, post update. Logged again with Netgear support and was advised that 1.4.0.34 is supposed to have fixed the IOS issue and tech support suggested i reset the orbi system and re-run setup again. With regards to the nest cams, she said this hasn't been proven to be a fault with Orbi yet?
Anyone else having issues since new firmware, and if so has a factory reset made any difference ? I have advised tech support will reset and report back if not resolved

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
I have multiple iOS devices in my house (all running latest f/w), and have never had any connection problems at all with this latest Orbi f/w or any previous versions of the Orbi f/w.
I don't have Nest cams, so I can't comment on that.

You do not have to update sequentially. You can skip any intermediate ones and go to the latest.
Please remember to update your satellite(s) first, then your router. And do not try and do them at the same exact time.

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Since having issues with latest update on orbi with iOS devices dropping wifi, I reset network settings in iPad Pro and then reconnected to wifi network and have had zero disconnections in last 3 hours, which is significant improvement.

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Hi,
I am facing also disconnects for our iPads (Air 1 and a 9.7 pro, both latest iOS).
I downgraded from .18 to .16 which made no difference, still disconnects.
Upgrade to .34 did not solve the issue either, still disconnects.
Beamforming and MU-Mimo activated.
I have not yet done a reset but will try that later.

Hi rustproofcorn,
food point regarding Beamforming, I will disable it and check whether the disconnects will stop.

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Installed .34 yesterday.
Still having iOS drop outs. Netgear really need to get this sorted. How hard can it be to test to make sure it works instead of releasing another firmware and cross fingers?

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Hi,
short update from my end.
I am still on .34 and disabled Beamforming. Since then I recognized just one disconnect.
Anyhow, I totally agree with Jako888, Netgear has to get that fixed!
Has anybody tried the reset?

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
to add, it makes no difference to have Beamforming or Mu Mimo on or off. I have tried all four combinations

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Yes i have factory reset. No ios discconections until yesterday, and started dropping again. Dropped several times in quick sucession since. It certantly seems to be disconnecting on fewer occasions than before the update but i still dont have the issue fully resolved to my satisfaction.

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Hi,
in the last 30 minutes I had 3 disconnects with my iPad Pro. My wife using her Air 1 in the same room did not have a single disconnect....
Anyhow, .34 is not solving the issue.

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Hi,
perhaps just co-incidence but I recognized today that I only have disconnects when our iOS devices are connected to the router. As long as they are connected to the satellite I do not face any disconnects. During more than 4 hours there was no single disconnect, including streaming of a TV show to a iPad pro with no issues at all.
Hopefully Netgear is reading this thread as well....

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Have reverted back to 16 the latest still has frequent drop issues, after running for 4 days and factory reset 34 is sill unstable iOS devices and now even my android Xperia z4 tablet is dropping, after going back to 16 and factory reset everything is stable again. netgear engineering really needs to investigate what is wrong with Firmware after 16 release...

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Tried various positons of the satelite today, as someone had suggested it could be down to it being too close to the router.
Didnt matter where I positioned in the house. Stil iPad drop outs. Really hope Netgear gets this sorted soon.

Re: New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Both off.
Over the weekend I tried all four combinations of them on and off and it made no difference whatsoever.

200 sqm. 3 floors.
Signal is fine as such. Ipads running with full set off bars most of the time and then suddently signal drops for like 30 sec.
Good signal between router and satelite too.
