iPadOS devices sometimes looses connection with RBR50
Having a strange issue at home and don't know if it's related to my iPad or my RBR50. I own an iPad 8, my wife a 7 and daughter an old Air 2. All three iPads are always at home, connected to ...
I indeed switched on the data counter on the RBR. I wasn't aware about the issue around it and it gave me a crazy problem.
I think this topic can be closed. I bought a new iPad Air 2022 and for the time being, this device doesn't gives problems.
In the future I think the old iPad will be used as a central homekit control panel and will be continuously on the charger.
In the mean time, Apple released iPadOS16.4.1. I read somewhere on reddit this could solve some connection issues. Further experiments are necessary.
Hello Beeldbuisje,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you would like to optimize your network coverage using your Orbi Mesh System. The best placement practice for the Orbi Mesh System is to keep the router (model number: RBR) in the middle of the network between the two additional satellites.
Please navigate to the following link for Orbi placement reference:
