Orbi Wifi 2.4 signal drops and reconnects.

All devices connected to 2.4g drop connection and then reconnect.  System has been stable but over the past week very unstable. Upgraded firmware, with no improvement.

 

Upgraded to beta V2.1.2.10 yesterday, was semi stable during the day, but overnight some devices dropped over 200 times. Wired and 5g devices seem to work fine.

 

This is my second system, first one, satellite bricked after firmware update.

If I wasn’t past my return period, I would return system.

  • have you checked the 2.4 channel for congestion ?  could there be a conflict with a close neighbour ?   It's worth running a check with something like Acrylic to see what channels are free and them manually assigning the 2.4GHz to that.

      I have checked, no real congestion and have tried setting new channel with no improvement.
