My ORBI satellites keep disconnecting ( SEE SCREENSHOT )
My ORBI satellites keep disconnecting ( SEE SCREENSHOT ). Why does this keep happening. Also one day the wifi is stellar, and the next day its dismall. Even though the internet connection is rock solid at 300mps! What is going on man? This recent firmware is utter CRAP! HELP...
The satellites are in very good range of each other and I get much better performance removing the DAISY CHAIN feature. Any particular confiigurations. The best channgels for 5Ghz I've tested are 36 too. How is this is so problematic and something like the EERO so simple when this unit came way after EERO.
Really need some configuration help so this stays good once and for all.

Hi Daren,
I have the same issue
I have updated to the latest firmware 2.1.2.18
It's disconnect 5 or 10 time per hours not very easy to watch netflix .... or use my sonos system
Could you help Me ? I am desperate....
2 months with this issue ....
Buy the Zyxel Multy X. I got it.
Not one issue. Perfect wifi full throughout upstream and down stream. Excellent app and overall stellar performance with no disconnects whatsoever! Epic!!!!
I had similar behavior yesterday and today on 2.0.0.74. Before that things have been very steady. I have been watching all the woes from anything newer than 2.0.0.74 and holding off any upgrade.

22 entries over about 16 hours. The MAC address shown is a dithered MAC for the RBS50. The RBS50 showed intermittantly on the Attached Devices screen, but with IP 192.168.1.250 rather than the 192.168.101.239 reserved for it. The RBS50 showed with its true IP on an IP scan of the LAN. I never saw a "Disconnected" entry in the Attached Devices screen - the RBS50 was either there with the wrong IP or there was nothing in the satellite area.
It was nice to see that something other than logons finally showed up in the undocumented log. I finally power-cycled the RBS50 and have not had problems since.
