I just got this router yesterday and I was about to return it because when watching TV, it kept dropping the signal. I downgraded the router as others suggested, and now it works fine. A bit disappointing that you need to downgrade the firmware to get a properly working product, but I am surprised.
I decided to upgrade from Orbi RB50 because it occasionally dropped the signal due to DOS attacks or something like that. Also, the DDNS service went to crap.
Does anyone know what is causing the issue with the current firmware?
Now I am wondering if I should future proof and get the 6e model instead.
I was looking through some of the firmware notes and sadly a lot of them are pretty generic
The only thing I saw update wise for Version 3.0.0.4.386.43181 was "2. Improved system stability."
