Nest camera drops
Is there a stable firmware & settings for using the ORBI RBR50/RBS50 with the indoor Nest Camera in the UK? Symptoms: Camera streams for a period of time then either (a) feed drops entirely, (b) ...
Thanks for getting involved so fast.
Distance Router-Satellite. With the arrangement of rooms eeking out any extra distance is not hugely viable.
- The connection is absolutely rock solid for anything other device (wired/wireless)
- I can see wireless devices attaching to each of the satellite and router connections
- The Nest Camera is the only thing displaying any ill symptoms.
Camera to Router... 20-25 ft.
Camera to Satellite... 5-10 ft.
Factory reset and setup from scratch have been completed since last FW applied.
You might turn OFF the RBS and see if the cameras will change behavior with the RBR alone.
I would make sure NEST cameras are updated as well. Contact NEST support for additional help and information regarding there products.
WiFi over lap is important between the RBS and RBR. Too close causes too much over lap thus causing problems for some wifi devices.
Only the Nest Camera has issues.
Going to try the following tomorrow and see what happens.
1) See if FW update available on the Nest Camera
2) Use a non-Orbi Router [Which is some bog standard piece of rubbish supplied by Hyperoptic]
3) Run RBR only [Not a long term solution]
4) RBR and RBS both on... But shift the two as far apart as physically possible.
Will let you know how I get on.
From searching forums here it doesn't feel like I'm the 1st person to have Netgear-Nest issues.
Let us know how it goes.
