Unfortunately, I am inclining towards the same conclusion about the HW. I hardly ever use Ethernet connections. Would the satellite be able to create a wifi system on its own? I search and found out that locally, rbr50 in used condition are available for $100 with only 1 day warranty. After...

Which company or brand would you recommend? I am finding this one interesting: TP Link Deco W7200 (2-pack), Tri Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Router System | 2- Mesh Routers | Coverage up to 5,500 Sq Ft Available for $189.

I have just added Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 6 Mesh System, 1.8Gbps, Router + 3 Satellites, AX1800 4-Pack (MK64). Would Asus ZenWifi be a good replacement & investment? Not sure if any of the options I have mentioned are any match to Orbi. My main requirements are solid wifi connectivity across...

May I ask how do I check if I am using any DFS channels on 5GHz? My replacement Tp-link router seems to be working fine on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. - is the operation affected by change in temperature? I am not sure. The temperature is currently 16c here. I haven't changed the positioning of the...

I uploaded 2.5.2.4 stock fw again and did a fresh setup after factory reset. Same wifi issue disconnecting after 30 secs. Then I proceeded to upload voxel fw again. This time I had a good 5 minutes of stable connection before wifi started disappearing every 30 secs again. I am starting to...

UPDATE: wifi disconnecting again. I think I celebrated a bit too early. But I swear I had a solid connectivity for a good 12 minutes with no disconnection immediately after I installed voxel. Then I proceeded to setup a guest wifi which caused the router to reboot (or it did for some reason)...

Most importantly, thank you @Voxel for providing us with an alternate to stock Netgear firmware to fix such painful issues.

I have downgraded the router to 2.5.2.4 and then uploaded the Voxel firmware using the admin interface. God decided to be kind to me. I have a Stable wifi connection at least for the past 5 minutes. No wifi disconnections so far on 2 cellphones. I seriously hope & pray my happiness is not short...

Honestly, I am not willing to part with another $400 so soon. I had bought this system for $500 almost 29 months back. I can pay for kids school and buy groceries for a whole month with this money. So it is a big investment. :) I know there is no universal solution or magic to this problem, but...

So I have tried 2.6.1.40 as well. Doing factory reset after every firmware downgrade. Wifi issue persists. Wifi keeps disconnecting every 30 seconds. Going to try downgrading it to 2.5.2.4 later tonight. And then voxel firmware.

Power failures are also frequent here. There's a possibility that during the firmware update process, the power went off and may have caused firmware to get corrupted. I am not sure how NAND partitions work or what it means to flash the firmware from bootloader but I tried the tftp method last...

Thank you. Really appreciate it. I am not giving up until I have evidence that it's a hardware failure. That's for sure. This is exactly my thought but I am sure there has to be someway for sure to find out if the hardware is fried. But at the same time, wifi connectivity sometimes is stable...

I used the method I found on Reddit before I put the firmware after entering bootloader. So I opened cmd in one window after setting up So I tried using the tftp method. The only way I was able to enter the bootloader mode was by turning off the router, pressing the reset button with a pin and...

@sfx2000 @Tech9 still working on restoring the bricked orbi using your tftp method. posted an update on the above thread. I will not stop trying nor buy a new one until I know for sure it's a hardware issue. Like I said, I am persistent and will keep trying. Doing so since last 2 months. Since...

This is what I will do next if tftp method above shared by fellow member doesn't works.
