3 TopicsShould I just trash the Orbi and go back to Asus?
Spent $400 on this Orbi AC3000, and the past few months it seems Netgear has crippled this router, to where I can no longer trust it. Started crashing 1-2x a day a few months ago, and now anywhere from 5-10x a day with the last few firmware updates. I have so much experience and know how flashing DDWRT on most of my previous routers, so it was nice to buy the Orbi and it just worked. Sadly, that is no longer, with all the latest firmware making this Orbi Router utterly useless. I feel like just throwing this Orbi in the trash to be honest. The past few months have been to worst wifi experience I have ever, well, experienced. Do I just take the loss and move on to the ASUS, or stay in there and suffer until Netgear makes this router great again, if ever? Should I just buy the Asus AC5400 or even the Asus RoG-AC5400 and move on? What would you do?Genie Login

Hi, Does anyone know How I can upgrade the R7100LG - Nighthawk 4G LTE Modem Router when the upgrade to the new firmware failed using the browser? What I did: I opened the control panel of my router in a browser. On top of the site it stated there was a new firmware available so I clicked that button to start the upgrade. After 25 minutes there was no response, so I rebooted the router. Now I have a flashing / blinking power led with indicate I have a faulty firmware. I can ping my router but I am unable to open the control panel using a browser. actions taken: I downloaded both the new 1.0.0.30 and the previouw version 1.0.0.28 to install the firmware manually according this website: Reinstall the firmware on a router without the setup CD recovery tool . I can set the times it wil retry at a 20 times but it all failed stating: Unable to get response from the server. retry (20/20)... question: Does anyone know if here is any other way to upgrade the firmware other than the two methodes mentioned above? nice to know: the router was purchaged on jan. 9. 2017. so I am just out of the complementary support (90 days....)Solved3.8KViews0likes5Comments
