Netgear Orbi RBR50 not visible to Fujitsu ScanSnap ix1600
Hi, I have a very strange and peculiar issue. I have a Netgear Orbi RBR50 router with three satellites. The WiFI SSID is visible and 40-50 devices around my house are able to connect to this...
Maybe I have a solution, or at least it worked for me
I had the same problem as all of you, my is ORBI RBR50 with a satellite Firmware V2.7.4.24 and Scasnap iX1600 with the latest firmware version available I don't know the version.
Here is the my solution.
In Advanced Setup -> Wireless Setting -> Advanced Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n)
I unchecked (disabled) , "Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings"
"Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence" was already unchecked (disabled) from the start.
I haven't touched the other settings:
CTS/RTS Threshold 2347
Preamble Mode "Short Preamble"
Transmit Power Control "100%"It worked for me, in the sense that as soon as I unchecked (disabled) "Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings" the scansnap finally connected to the router.
With every other device connecting automatically, the scanner appears to be the problem.
My first thought is to use the Chat option on the Fujitzu web page and talk to Fujitzu support:
https://www.fujitsu.com/us/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/soho/ix1600/
I thought "Maybe it is in Direct Connect mode rather than WiFi mode." But, if it connects to other WiFi networks, that should not be the case.
How about it being "blocked" by the Orbi Access Control? Nope. Blocked devices still see the Orbi WiFi.
This is a real stumper.
