Update V1.9.1.12 Netgear officially announcing 'Improvement in wireless connection Stability'
Just downloaded the latest release V1.9.1.12 and noticed in the official release notes from Netgear it states as fix 'Continious Improvement in wireless connection stability'..Dosent spefically makre...
Yeah, though the tp-link kit which the Orbi is replacing was pretty solid. I may just go back to that. 4 SSIDs and all.
Need a a full wireless system though if I stay mesh - no way to run cables acceptably in the house. See how it goes moving the satellite up a floor. (Though that will be almost vertically above the router so less than 40ft most likely)
Anyone figure out how to tell which sattelite your devices are now connected to? Prior to firmware v1.9.1.12 one could check by doing the following.
1. Log into your Orbi router
2. Under the BASIC tab, select ATTACHED DEVICES
3. Select a connected device and on the next screen put your mouse cursor in the name field and click ENTER on your keyboard.
The screen will refresh and will show you which sattelite your devices are connected to.
With firmware v1.9.1.12 this no longer works.
hi
does this still work
Go to the debug page and enable telnet
- Telnet into the router
- Execute the following:
nvram set enable_adv_attached=1 nvram commit
- Exit telnet
- Go to the debug page and disable telnet
go to the orbi attached device list , you should now see what is connected to what and what band they are connected to
Peteytesting..thanks for the steps. I'm now seeing what band (2.4G or 5G) that wach wireless device is connected to; however it isn't displaying what sattelite each device is connected to.
but you are seeing the sats and whats connected to each , yes they are not named differently buy you should be able to work out which sat is where and whats connected to it
I see the sattelites but not what is connected to each. This is what I see.
You can login into the satellite page and see which devices are connected to it, the rest are of course connected to the main unit, to login to the sat's page figure out what its IP address is by checking it out on the Orbi's attached devices page and then go open it with your browser, it will ask you for your Orbi's username/pass, once there click on "Attached Devices"
Thanks for the workaround.
Netgear needs to get their act together. Nothing like having to jump through hoops when the information should be on the "Attached Devices" page. Just glad their not an automobile company. We'd be told we have to disconnect the battery terminal cables every time we shutoff the car otherwise the battery would drain.
