Devices not connecting to satellites RBS20
I have a CBR40 with 2 RBS20 Satellites. I have a 2 ROKUs and 1 Amazon Firestick and 1 Amazon express devices that I am attempting to connect to the Satellites. Even those the devices are right next t...
How far away from each other are the satellites and the router?
They need 30ft minimum for roaming to work properly.
And if you're daisy chaining (router----sat-----sat), sometimes they'll connect to a satellite further away because its closer to the primary router. The further away/more daisy chains, add latency/lower speeds. so even though its further away, it might actually be faster/lower latency.
Thank-You for the information.
One satellite is certainly more than 30 ft away from the router the other is right around 30 ft away.
The satellites are currently daisy chained. I have however in the past seen them configured as hub and spoke.
If there a preferable way for them to be setup?
Each satellite is closer to the router than the other satellite so I was thinking that hub spoke would make more sense but was not sure how to force that configuration
to force it you disable daisy chain from within the menu options
