AT&T MicroCell randomly disconnects using Orbi
I have an AT&T MIcrocell which is plugged into the Orbi Router firmware 1.8xxx to boost my AT&T signal. If you are not sure what a microcell is, it is designed for homes that have weak signal to boo...

Hello Russellmoran99
I do not understand why wifi would interfere with the microcell since it puts out its own phone signal and wouldn't be using the wifi. I would try turning off the wifi on your phone and test it out again.

I doubt it interferes, but most likely when moving between router/satellites the disconnect/reconnect is dropping his call. The microcell probably isn't designed for it's connection/signal to be "handed off".
