Chrome OS won't connect to Orbi RBR50
I have an Orbi RBR50 running in router mode with a single satellite. Other than the router needing a reboot every few days (annoying, but no online solution seems to work), all 20+ devices on the net...
I had the same issue with my Acer Chromebook and my new Orbi 6 w/ one satellite. In any event, after running through every configuration I could with no luck, I tried a different spot in the house and it connected fine. I believe my satellite was too close to my router, and I was right in the middle trying to connect. I have 20 other devices without any issue, so it took a while to actually try a different location in the house. Hope this helps others!
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Someting to keep in mind.
