Downgrade. Several people, myself included, have had intermittent connnection issues wuith 2.5.1.8
To what version should I downgrade?
Try v30...
what is V30 ? I have V2.3.5.30 now ? Same result. Wifi cut outs.
Try a factory reset on the RBS and RBR. Walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch to see if this helps.
Yes, v30 is same as V2.3.5.30
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 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
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you turn OFF all RBS, does the RBR still have problems with WiFi?
