Loosing WiFi connection ORBI RBR50
Hi! In an location somewhat in between the router and two satellites I keep loosing contact with the wIfI on my iPad after a while. Get the message "wrong password" for the Orbi wifi. I never happen...
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

If your near the RBS, does the iPad work well near the RBS?

The system is in a kind of triangle,
RBR50 router ~30 feet to Outdoor satellite
Outdoor ~25 feet tolkar Orbi satellite
Satellite ~ 50 feet from router
The system most often use router -> outdoor -> satellite, sometimes it connects directly from router to both outdoor and satellite.

- The ring has no color, the app displays them like in the screendump.
Leif You might try the farthest RBS thats 50ft out a bit closer...
Do you have Daisy Chain enabled on the RBR?

Moving the farthest RBS closer?
Daisy Chain is enabled and the farthest satellite is reached through the outdoor one. Isn't the idea with daisy chain and mesh that the satellites connect with each other to lengten the range?
