Have to keep rebooting my RBR50
RBR50 + 2RBS50 Firmware Version: V2.1.2.18 Internet Provider: Xfinity Despite having applied all the latest patches, I keep having to reboot my Orbi - a few times a week to multiple times a day. W...
Welcome to the Orbi Reset Club (ORC). Get used to it. I have had my Orbi for well over a year and am resetting it daily. None of their patches work. Worst piece of junk I ever spent $500 on. Never buy Netgear again.
Hmmm, that's too bad. My Nighthawks we're flawless for years until I upgraded the firmware last month (after years of not upgrading). And the orbi's are doing the exact same thing as the updated Nighthawks. Looks like I need to return. The question is what to replace them with.
- I have been rebooting for over a year...What’s surprising are the high ratings and amazing reviews!!!
- I was just going through the Amazon reviews as well and noticed a lot of people like the easy setup. My setup was not easy, I almost returned it then. I could not get an internet connection (over WiFi or ethernet) and after about 45min it started working. I could always access routerlogin okay. After eventually getting all devices to update firmware it started working. Anyone else have a rocky initial installation?
I do have some Android devices/ TV's and Sonos - with two sonos hardwired. One tv has both a wired + wireless connection (has been fine doe years). Maybe it's related but shouldn't be, so not sure if I'll start changing the setup of my other devices just to get this working instead of just returning.the Orbi Pro has none of these issues; if your unit is returnable, then do it and upgrade to the Orbi pro; zero issues, period
