Is my internal performance OK
Looking to see if I am pushing my ORBI's to the limit or if I have another problem.
Problem: I have to run the Security Cameras at a lower res and lower fps that I would like.
Here is s snaps...

One last thing to test! Packet drops can also be caused by the fragmentation thresholds. Default CTS/RTS Threshold is 2347 for both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Please try to change those something lower, start with 2307 and then try different values between this figure and 2347.
Furrye38,
Thanks.
It's an internal network. No modem involved for the cameras. The more I increase the FPS or res the more dropped frames I get.
The problem happens with the base or the satellite so I don't think it's a satellite issue. The distance is about 15' as the crow flys.
15 feet between the Orbi router and satellite? if so, this is too close between them. 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

It's 15' but its downstairs. What is the symptom if they are too close?
Thanks in advance
Would be degradation of performances. Having over lapping wifi that is too close can also cause interference problems between the base router and satellite. 30 feet in between is recommend to begin with for placement with the satellite(s). The router alone can cover up to 1100sq ft by itself depending on building materials.
Turn OFF the satellites and run some performance testings with just the router alone. Then turn on a satellite and test. Placement is key.

I'll move it to the next spot but I had it further away when first setting it up and the the connection between the sattelite and base was flaky (dropped). They replaced the satellite but moving it closer solved the problem.

Imagine sticking your head in a high performance speaker and turning up the volume too high. You can hear noise, but it is so loud you cannot figure out what the noise is. You are over-modulating. You can also over-modulate digital receivers with too much power -- (by being too close or too much output power!)
