Apple TV dropping network with ORBI53
I purcheased the ORBI53 about a month ago and everything has worked well until yesterday. The network is dropping IOS devices, especially 2-4th Gen Apple TVs with up to date softeware. Any suggestion...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
What channels are you using? Try 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any wifi neighbors near by? if so, how many?
Try disabling MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming. Save settings and reboot the router, satellite and ATV.
What is the distances between the router, satellite and ATV to each other?
Hi,
My modem is a Technicolor TG 789 vac v2 provided by iinet.net.au. It is connected by ethernet cable to the National Broadband Network fibreoptic cable distribution box in the basement of our house.
The modem has a built in router but running in bridged mode. I have disabled the wifi connectivity of the TG789 modem router so we only have the networks generated by the Orbi.
For 2.4GHz currently channel set is to Auto. For 5GHz channel is set to 36
1 Wifi neighbour whose network occasionally is picked up
I have disabled MIMO, Daisy chain and Fastroaming and will reboot and report back.
The router is about 12m from the satellite with walls (plasterboard and wooden cabinets) in between in a single level house. The apple TV is about half way between the router and satellite.
Thanks for the prompt response !
