I recently bought an orbi from amazon and i love it because it reaches throughout my whole house unlike my old router. However, i have noticed that i have dropped internet connections at times. For example the first time i noticed it, i went on a trip for 2 weeks so i haven't really been home to notice a drop in connection, was this morning and it had a pulsing magenta, i had to restart and it came back up. Afterwards now i saw that it had a pulsing white and it fixed itself within a few minutes. I paid a lot of this system and i want to know what's wrong or if anyone else has had this issue? I'd really appreciate any help.

I too face a similar issue and need to reboot the router once in two days. Further, the WiFi too stops and new connections cannot be made. Once the R and S are rebooted, everything works fine. Have the latest firmware version. Any pointers please? Cannot have such an unreliable system for the price paid.

I'm having the same problem. My orbi loses internet every 12-15 hours. I just bought it on Saturday and for the price I paid it's completely unacceptable. I've never had this issue prior to purchasing the orbi. I have the RBK50
Good Morning, i apologize, i went ahead and bought a replacement Linksys, you guys have lost me as a customer for other netgear products as this was my first. I will be selling my orbi elsewhere, thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Send me a Pm with your name, email, and phone number and our support team will contact you with the beta firmware. Also can you tell me what devices you are seeing disconnects on? This beta is only for RBK50 units.
I would like to try this beta. I purchased last Saturday and have till next Saturday to determine if I'm going to keep this system. I'm currently on newest stable version and updated to it right after setting the system up. I guess I should have tried it out more before upgrading. I have the RBK50 system AC3000.
Thanks

I have the same issues as others. Things were fine but now I lose my connection once a day after 12 hours or so. This "breaks" my cameras which cannot resetablish themselves without going through their setups again. Is there a beta firmware that fixes this? I am willing to try anything to get this thing stable again. REally frustrated with the cost of the system and the inability to callit reliable.
Please help.

I know there are many threads for this issue already but I can't get my head around it. My orbi satellite keeps dropping connection as well. I'm unable to open the disk image of updates. I'm at my wits end. I don't want to get a new product but a permanent solution.

I can't even login with an ethernet cable. The website keeps denying. I have been able to log in sporadically. orbilogin.com doesn't work. I also have the Netgear Genie but the router login window also doesn't work. Sometimes, infrequently, the system works and I can even see the satellite but generally it just doesn't.
I have updated the system to V2.0.0.74 no improvement. I have MU-MIMO and beamforming enabled but it is not random connected wireless devices dropping the internet connection, it is the base router and all devices lose connectivity simultaneously whether wired or otherwise. Have spoken to support, its like they don't listen, having me change channels on the wireless settings, umm sure, lets do that. End of tech support today was, must be my ISP, so had the ISP out, all tests clean. Subsequently connected my old Linksys router and voila, stable connection. Netgear, time to acknowledge you have a problem...

Hi, I've reset the system and I see the SSID, Orbi55, but I'm still not able to log in, ie I can't change network name or password. Can't log in with ethernet cable either. The problem of dropped connection seems to have subsided for now.
If it's possible to return the product, do it. I did best decision. I tried with customer support on forums and on Reddit and no one could fix my issue. I paid way to much money for this, for it not to work.

Before worrying about changing anything, can you connect to Orbi55?
If so then can you get to http://orbilogin.net/ and if so are you using the default userid and password to log in?
