RBK44 System Unstable
60% of the time it works everytime! With each firmware update I feel like Netgear is getting further and further away from stability. I am so frustrated by this system that I don't know what to do at this point. If it were not for the fact that I have spent $400 including an extra stellite (RBS50) I would trash it and start over. I just manually updated to the beta firmware version 2.1.3.6 in hopes of finding stability. 2 hours into it and I can't tell you how many times I have rebooted the router and statellites. My family is ready to execute me in my sleep. Pleassssse Netgear! Fix the stability issues.Issue with my Orbi Satellite
So wondering if someone can help me on this. My orbi satellite has been acting up recently not broadcasting wifi. Before I get into it, I have power cycled the router, the satellite, the router and the satellite, I have updated firmware manually, reset to factory defaults... twice, all to no avail... Also I know the satellite was not bum off the line because it worked fine in the past for some time (I've had the system for close to 6 months with no prior issues). Anyways, the issue appears to be the satellite has wifi "disabled" but I can't find a way to turn it on (no switch on the hardware, no option when logged into the satellite through either its direct IP admin page or through the router admin page). Going in through the router admin page shows the satellite as a "connected device" but doesn't recognize it as a satellite. Further, reseting the satellite and synching manually yields a blue light (never magenta) but still the router page doesn't recognize the satellite as a "satellite" - only a "connected device". And finally, logging into the admin page for the satellite itsefl yields a picture showing the satellite connected to the router, but specifically stating the wifi for both the 2.4 and 5.0 channels as "disabled". Anyone have any ideas? Its really quite frustrating, especially how expensive these units are and the amount of time I've had it. ThanksBefore I buy Orbi
I need some community help. I really want to buy the Orbi system to cover some of the dead zones in my house, but the recent reviews on Amazon and the community boards about the router losing its connection to the modem and requiring a physical reset really concerns me. Has there been a fix for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Losing Wireless Connectivity
Hello guys, So basically the first few days the Orbi system worked just fine. But now I'm losing the connection every 1/2 hrs. I'm connected via Lan-Cable to my PS4. I don't know if it has something to do with my issue but when I was only using the laptop and my iPhone everything worked fine. I did not change any settings etc. Once I lose connection the router is pulsing white and sometimes it's just solid white. Then it turns blue and everything works again. Any ideas how I could solve this? I don't want my router to lose connection. Especially when I'm playing online games.
