4PM26A51099A0 WIFI IS DROPPING ON MY PHONE
Need help my phone keeps dropping the wifi. Nothing else is dropping just my phone. Any suggestion on how to fix this or why it's happening?
Try disabling Daisy Chain, MIMO and Fast Roaming.
Set up IP address reservations for the devices ON the router.
Set manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
Ensure distances between router and satellite start at 30feet. Should not be closer...
I appreciate the effort, but none of these were necessary prior to the auto firmware update.
MIMO and Fast Roaming are both off, and Daisy Chain is only for 3+ nodes, I have a 2-node system.
I'm not manually assigning IPs because with IoT devices, I have like 30 devices, and also, Orbi isn't doing the routing in the first place. Also, this should never be necessary.
Channels aren't a problem because I don't have enough neighbors close enough to be to have inter-network interference.
All I want is my Orbi to work as well as it did in the early spring before the update, with all its default settings. I don't think that's too much to ask.
