OrbiOS 2.1.4 + Homekit
We’ve been monitoring issues that some users have experienced on OrbiOS 2.1.4 with Apple Homekit. In response, to those customers, we’re releasing firmware that provides a temporary work around to c...
I've been having HomeKit troubles for about a month, and am so glad to stumble upon this update. Hopefully Netgear is monitoring this post, because I had another issue with the router that started happening with about the same timeline.
My iPhone 8+ would frequently hop off of the router and start using cellular data. So much so, that I used up my data plan before the end of the period for the 2nd time in 10 years (the first time was while travelling) I work from home, so for me to use this much data is *really* unusual. There are no spots in my house or on my property that have low coverage. Also, I live in an area of hardly any service, so there's no situation where the cell signal stregnth is stronger than my WiFi signal.
I've installed the beta firmware. I hope it addresses both the HomeKit and the iOS issue.
