Odd Ping bug I have discovered
Okay so this is going to sound odd but here it goes. So I decided to the other day to do some random ping testing to see what my MS are between devices. Well for know my ASUS ROG laptop is connected ...
I have this exact same problem!
I have an ORBI RBR40 with two RBS40 satellites. I have a printer and remote server plugged into one of the satellites, but the printer constantly goes to 'Offline' and the network shares disconnect from the remote server.
I try to ping the server or the printer and get 'Destination host unreachable' or 'Request Timed Out'.
So far the only fix I have found is to reboot the network.
PLEASE HELP!
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
