Orbi Firmware 2.3.1.60
Welp, anyone have any notes on this thing? It's already downloaded to my router and satellite waiting for me to pull the pin.
Hi,
Just for information, when you're in the Firmware Update page and it downloads new firmware to install, the version number next to both the router and the satellite is a clickable link.
If you click the link, it will show you the release notes of all changes between your currently installed firmware and the update.
Although, this "feature" is not hidden, it's not always obvious that it's there either.
Updated to 2.3.1.60 with RBR50 en RBS50 but connection with internet was lost after approx 30 minutes. Tried Total reset twice without result, also within 30 minutes lost connection.
Downgraded to 2.3.1.44 and now it is more stable but when connecting to the WiFi with my phone sometimes the connection with internet is failing as well.
Never experienced problems with the Orbi but this is frustrating!!

I’m having similar problems. The system has completely crapped out for any wireless use with 2.3.1.60, after never having a single issue in the last few months with 2.3.2.44. I guess I’ll have to try downgrading...

- Orbi itself. The whole system just seems extremely unstable. The satellites connect and disconnect, and that seems to knock everything offline.
- Thank you, I’ll give that a try as soon as I get back home.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
Try a full factory reset and setup from scratch on the system after updating to v60.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
