Orbi dropping internet connection VERY Frequently after nstalling V2.3.1.60 firmware upgrade
I have Orbi RBR50 with two satellites.
Ever since installing V2.3.1.60 firmware upgrade, my Orbi setup has been dropping my internet connection with annoying frequency. It drop sit for periods from 30 seconds to as long as several minutes and then, more often than not recovers. I've reset everything multiple times and checked with my internet supplier (xfinity/comcast cable) and they've run their tests with no reported "problems" from their perspective. When I say "dropping connection", it usually is just no response, but if it's long enough, the PC/Mac/iOS device shows lost internet connection whether hardwired or wifi. Any suggestions most welcome

Re: Orbi dropping internet connection VERY Frequently after nstalling V2.3.1.60 firmware upgrade
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
Has a factory reset been performed since updating to v60 or did you apply v60 and continue? How about a power cycle of the RBR?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling WMM, Beamforming and MIMO. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
