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.

Next to try, what wifi channel(s) and security option do you have set? The ScanScap ix1600 supports both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, you are probably using WPA2 and should try setting specific channels for each of 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz (vs. auto). See if the scanner is able to detect and return in its options list your Orbi network if you try some different channels.
Hi Mervin,
Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue? I am having exactly the same problem.
thanks,

Hi - I have had exactly the same issue with the scan snap ix1600. My home network is orbi and the scansnap can't see it at all. I took the scanner to work which is Apple extreme and it works. Not sure if that means it's the orbi that's the problem ?
