Orbi System: Disable automatic firmware updates
Although automatic firmware updates should probably be the default, there should be a method (easily accessible in the firmware settings) to disable firmware auto-updates. The foregoing would allow those experiencing issues with the latest firmware to remain on an earlier version.Orbi and Ring products issues
I recently switched from one router + repeater to the Orbi system. No installation problem. When I first connected my Ring Doorbell and 2 Ring Spotlight cameras, no connection issues. One camera connected to the Router, while the Doorbell and the other camera connected to one satellite each. Motion was detected and reported. Live View worked. All was well. Then I started to notice problems with Live View. If there was no motion detected for a while, then Live View would show a black screen (or could not connect). Motion would restore the Live View for 15-30 minutes. I checked the connected devices, and the Dorrbell and camera connected to the satellites would not show in the list. After motion they would show. The camera connected to the router would always be in the list and show Live View with no issue. Testing further, I turned off the 2 satellites and brought one camera back on the house to be close enough to get a signal. Now all are connected to the Router and I have no Live View issue anymore. Therefore it seems there is a problem when Ring products connect to a satellite. I tried all suggestions mentioned on this forum, no luck. Anybody noticed the same issue? Any solution?ATT Uverse
I am an ATT Uverse user and interested in the Orbi product. Has anyone set up the Orbi on the ATT Uverse system? Uverse system has the modem/router in one device. I'm not a network guy so do not understand technical ling (smile). Can someone explain if you can make the Orbi system work with ATT Uverse? If so, how? Do I have to set it up just as an access point or are there other ways to configure it? Would I keep my TVs (DVR and tv access points) plugged into the ATT modem/router or plug those into the Orbi as well? I have called ATT many times and they are not familiar with Orbi so could not offer any advice.
