Orbi - sometimes no data after switching to router mode
Hi all,
I have a RBR40 with two RBW30 wall sattelites. Untill recent I used them in AP mode with no problems. Due to a change in provider/modem I now use it as Router with my internet connection on the RBR40. This works fine, but sometimes (every so much minutes) no data seems to be passing via wifi. Cable connections do not seem to be affected, but not sure.
Speedtest shows my exact speed, no problem there. WHen the connection is fine, the speed and connection are also fine.
Have a mix of android, IOS, WIndows and other devices.
Firmware:
RBR40 V2.3.5.30
RBW30 V2.3.5.6
I have the follwing settings:
2.4
Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence enabled
Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings enabled
5
Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings enabled
ALso tested with WMM disabled.
Daisy chain disabled
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING enabled (also tested with this disabled)
Enable MU-MIMO enabled (also tested with this disabled)
Fast roaming disabled
After the firmware upgrade to 2.3 and before swiching to Router mode I did a factory reset of all three components.
Any ideas
Thanks!
Martijn

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?
