not accepting password
i am constantly being kick off the orbi network then need to rejoin. sometimes it accepts the password but usually it doesn’t -even when shared by another device that is connected. any ideas?
Firmware 2.3.1.58
The Orbi is connected to a Hiton Router which is connected to an Aries modem M#TE502G
All devices ( iphones, ipads, TV, etc) seem to be affected from time to time. One minute they work great - the next minute the wireless drops out on one or two - although a connected device right next to one that drops out can be working fine. Then it asks for a password. Sometimes it will accept the password and sometimes it won't. The password has never changed. When another device (which is on the Orbi wireless) shares the password with the device that has been kicked out, it won't accept that either.
The satellites are less than 30 feet away from the router.
I am a neophyte here...How do I check and/or select what channel I am using?
There are few Wifi neighbors but none as strong as the Orbi.
How do i check the WPA security mode?
Were are the Beamforming and Mimo settings found ? On each device?
Since the Orbi is connected to a router up stream, is the Orbi in router or AP mode?
Is ALL other wifi on the other router fully turned OFF?
How / where do I check to see what mode the Orbi is in?
Yes, all other wifi in the upstrem router has been turned off
Default is router mode if you set it up from scratch.
Check under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Router and AP mode.
If you have a router in front of the Orbi router then the Orbi should be configured for AP mode.
