Mobile devices keep disconnecting from Wifi network.
Hi there, (i'am dutch but i'll try in English) I bought a Orbi setup with 1 router and two sattalite's a fue months back. I had CAT5 inside my home but never had a good internet connection ore WIFI...
- To all that helped me, to find the problem ore any.
I finaly found the problem!
and solved it. Yes like a fue said, something must send a different IP adres.
That was indeed the problem, and the thing that caused it was my Ziggo media box. It has the option to function as a router.
So went in to settings and turned it off.
Now all my devices are now connected to my main Orbi router and everything is working like it should do!
To all, thank you for the support!!
Kind regards
Bas
Hi Furrye38,
Awnser 1. The TP Link is a: TL-SG105E "Unmanaged" and using it straight out of the box, i havn't changed anything on it.
Awnser 2. I know i should not, but this cable is about 20 meters and goes under ground. So, i know he won't be capable to get 1000mbps.
But it's for my back yard and won't have much devices connected anyway. Maybe in the summer for streaming some music.
The network connection is great at the moment and i can stream music with ease.
Awnser 3. My home is about 130m2. But, at the moment i only talk about downstairs and thats bout 62m2.
My ORBI router is in the closet underneath the "wooden" stairs behind a plasterboard about 3cm thik. So he should give more then enough coveridge for my downstairs devices. My Company laptop is about 3meters away from it. So is my own "Apple Iphone, smartphone" about 3 meters.
My first satallite (the other one needs to go on the first floor) is in the backyard cabbin. But this one is a wired connection, thats connected to the TP Link Switch.
Awnser 4. for my 5ghz connection i use channel 36 for my 2.4ghz connection i use channel automatic. I'll try and set it do a different channel.
About my Wifi neighbours. I live on a street, there all houses nearby and i can see about 4/5 different wifi connections.
Awnser 5. I did enabled Beamforming but it did not have any effect. I did not enabled MU-MIMO, is that something i should try?
Awnser 6. Fast Roaming is off, i never touch that. IPv6 is off, never touch that either. But i don't have the option you mention in the option list at IPv6. Amor and Circle are off.
I don't know what you mean with the option "Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes"
All wired items work perfect. Even the Samsung smartphone and Nintendo switch work with ease. But my Apple products and company laptop can't seem to connect. I see a full WIFI connecton bar. But when i'am connected it has not internet connection...
Thanks for you're help and i hope my awnser make it a bit more clear.
i Changed my 2.4ghz chanel to 6.
I enabled Beamforming and MU-MIMO
But no joy so far. My Apple devices and company laptop can still connect to the network but without a internet connection.
