I need help Please!!!! Mesh issues
Hi Everyone, I need your help! So I have a long rectangular property and I have a front house then a garage then a backhouse at the end of the property. Total about 13,300 sq ft. I bought a rbk53 sys...
v2.1.1.16 has a bug where the attached devices display is wrong. Most devices show as connected to the router, even when they are connected to the satellite. I'm not certain if the bug afffects the display of attached satelllites, but that could be your issue.
If you can get Internet through the third satellite then it's probably working OK.
Orbi isn't really designed to provide coverage across three buildings, as you are using it. However, I know someone who is using it this way for a business, and he is happy with it. I believe he gets about 5-10 Mbps throughput. Maybe you will get lucky.
- This last update said it got corrected where the satellites would show the wrong connected orbi. Its been a big mess
The update I mentioned is in this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/OrbiOS-2-1-1/td-p/1476960
But, if it your WiFi is working on 2.1.1.16, then you don't need to update, unless you really need to see an accurate device list.
Are you getting through to the Internet on the third satellite? What sort of speed are you getting?
Hi,
btw thanks for responding. Yes there is internet but super slow. My internet speeds are set at 300 mbps but from that satalite I get about 40-70 mbps then it will drop the connection. It seems as if it is connected to the router and not the nearest satalite.
