Can I force a satellite to connect to a another one?
I recently having some issue with my setup, would it be possible to force my satelitte to connect to the another satellite?
I attached some screenshot. Please not that the "Kitchen" satellite on th...
Might try using just two of the satellites. Kind of depends on the size of the home as well...
| Model Name | Device Name | Current Version | Status | |
| Router | RBR50 | RBR50 | V2.3.1.44 | No new firmware version available. |
| Satellite | RBS50 | Orbi Satellite Hall | V2.3.1.44 | No new firmware version available. |
| Satellite | RBS50 | Orbi Satellite Kitchen | V2.2.1.210 | Waiting for connection |
| Satellite | RBS50 | Orbi Satellite Living | V2.3.1.44 | No new firmware version available. |
I'm not sure about the total house sq / feet, Although I know that RBR50 > Orbi Satellite Hall = 7m (22feet I think) same from Orbi Satellite Hall >
Orbi Satellite Living. Also not sure that does anything but they all by windows.
Also I'm leaving in the country side, no other network interference (only fields).
Not sure what the NFR is but I'm using a Synology RT1900AC connected to my Optical terminal using PPPoE
Orbi is in AP mode, Settings :
20/40 MHz Coexistence, e WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings, CTS/RTS Threshold 2347, Preamble Mode auto,Daisy-Chain Topology, Implicit BEAMFORMING, MU-MIMO, fast Roaming
2.4ghz chanel : auto, 5ghz :36 using WPA2-PSK [AES]
22 feet is a bit too close between the case RBR and satellites. 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Also daisy chaing needs the placement of the satelites to be out in a line from the RBR and following satellites place after wards so they can piggy back of each other. The RBR being at the start of the line and the last satellite being at the far end.
I would also get that last satellite thats on v210 updated to v44. You can manually download and send the file to that RBS to update it and don't have to wait.
I presume the main host routters WiFi is disabled?
Thank you for the reply, yes the router wifi is turn off.
I'll try and will sent a update? do you think I should use all the satellites then ? I can add some upstairs alright
