Limited Connectivity on 5GHZ
My townhome is about 1600 sq.ft and below is my setup. Please note, the same setup has been working for the past one year. Router in the living room One satellite in bedroom One satellite in the ...
How far apart are your satellites? 30ft minimum is recommended.
You have quite a few satellites for a 1600sqft space. I found my home took significant speed hits when I had to many satellites.
I'm in a 3200sq ft home plus 1200 sqft garage and I use a router and 2 satellites. when I had more than that, i had speed issues and roaming issues.
have you tried removing a satellite or 2?
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it didnt help. I switched off all satellites except one, removed them from the router but still getting limited connection :(
I had to use atleast one satellite at my garage where the main router's signal is weak. Moreover router + 2 satellites have been working good. Not sure what went wrong recently.
What modem are you using?
Does it work with just the router?
If not, have you tried factory resetting and reinstalling the system?
I use SB6183 (Motorola Arris) with this router since 2018 and satellites were added during feb 2019. Again, the setup has been working without any issues.
I've not tried reset yet. Just wanted to avoid the pain and not sure it'll fix. Anyways will try and update.
