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).
Well... now my Playstation 4 will not connect to the Orbi no matter what I do. I had to do a full reboot on the Router and Satelite before it would connect again.
I also turned off the beamforming option. We will see if this improves the connections issues with the Nest Cams, XBox and PS4. Really starting to think I might need to return this before my time is up it is running so buggy. The admin panel is missing a lot of basic info on connection info.
Where is the firmware update? Are they even working on a solution? I am about ready to return this to the store.
I have been able to mitigate this to an extent by rolling back to 1.4.0.16 with a factory reset this same issue started in 1.4.0.18 and persist in 1.4.0.34 Netgear Engineering read these threads and posts so hopefully they are working on next Firmware with a resolution.
I sure do hope Netgear Engineering is working on new Firmware because many are running out of patience and will start looking at competitors solutions many to choose from now...
