IP cameras connection to Orbi unstable, slow, frequently disconnects
I have six IP cameras that I can connect wirelessly to my Orbi system (reserved IP addresses). However, accessing any or all of the cameras is painfully slow and frequently one or more of the cameras...
Happy to report that adding a second satellite appears to have completely solved the problem. All six cameras now working as crisply as ever. Thanks to everyone for contributing to the solution.
Thanks for that suggestion. I've tried setting the bit rate for each camera down low but it hasn't helped. It also doesn't explain the fact that I can have 6 cameras running hi-res and high bit rates flawlessly when connected direct by wifi to my ISP's router/modem. As soon as I use Orbi wifi they slow to a crawl or randomly disconnect completely. I've given up and taken the Orbi system down which is a shame as it was providing excellent coverage to all other devices in my house.
Is the ISP modems wifi running at the same time as the Orbi's? Is should be disabled entirely if you have the Orbi wifi running.
