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).

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 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 believe the ring door bell issue is more that it doesnt support single ssid names as suggested by its own support site
if however disabling implicit beamforming improves things it suggest the connecting devices are not fully compatable with the wireless AC standard and or beamforming standard
the down side is by disabling implicit beamforming your older devices may not work as well coverage wise
