Intermittent internet connectivity outage with Orbi?
I just installed my new Orbi router yesterday, replacing a Nighthawk R8500. I believe that overall wireless coverage has improved, though top-end performance is not quite as high (measured via fast....
I read in the other "Ring Door Bell" thread that a customer had better results after disabling "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING". So I tried that just to see what happens. It's probably too early to tell yet, but my 2 Nest cameras have only disconnected once in the past 2 days and I think that's because there was a power outage at my house today (I wasn't home and both cameras went out at the same time, something the intermittent outages haven't done).
I am getting the most drops and quick pick back ups from devices that are dual band. Most of them have no way of telling them not to use one of the bands (xbox one, which I believe is an N device, Nexus Player, which is an AC device, Ipad Air, which is a MIMO N device, etc.) For a while there I was getting a lot of drops from a laptop that could only do 2.4 Ghz though.
Hello everyone
Can you guys provided me the model number of your nest cams that are having this issue we are looking into testing the problem.
Thanks

I had this same issue with my iPhone/iPad devices after I hooked it up to the network. After I did a reboot (unplug modem, router and satellite) and plugged everything back in, haven't had a single drop-out since.
I am also seeing this problem with all three of my Nest Cam's, and never had a problem with my Nighthawk X6 - R8000.
They loose connection at 2-3 times in a 24 hour period, and do not reconnect for another 10-15 minutes.
Here are my models:
1. New: NestCam Outdoor, Software: 214-610025
2. Newer: NestCam Pro, Software: 205-600052
3. Older: DropCam Pro, Software: 205-600052

Hello Mikey94025
Thank you for letting us know about that I will let the engineers know and have them test it as well.

I have 6 indoor nest cams, all of them are model A00005.
I also have the Nest Outdoor Camera. I have full bars next to the camera and speedtest gives me 100mbps. It seems to just randomly disconnect. Sometimes very often, sometimes a little.
My 2 Nest cameras are Model = Dropcam Pro, Software = 205-600052. These were purchased from Dropcam before the Google acquisition.
Thanks for sharing that info I will keep you up to date as soon as I hear something.
