CBK752 - NETGEAR Admin - Attached Devices connected ORBI changing_220305
I need to have your support. On admin site, there are attached device list, but one of them is connected with far ORBI router so internet is quite slow. How could I change the connect Orbi device o...
You can't.
Its the devices own built in roaming protocol that decides what to connect to.
You can do a few things to optmize/help it change
1. Make sure the router/satellite are at least 30 ft apart
2. you can change the router/satellite broadcast power. If the home is a bit undersized for the setup, your devices can just be choosing to connect to the router as their protocol says "its good enough"
3. you can try powering your device off and then back on. Sometimes, if the router booted up first, the device can connect to it first and stay connected even once the satellite is running because its roaming protocol isn't that agressive.
