Orbi- peculiar problem
Have been using orbi router + 1 satellite for over 4 months now. Works well in all rooms except one room that is further away. Although the wifi bars show 3 to 2 in that room, the internet does not se...
- I took away the DIR-615 completely and directly connected orbi router to RJ45 from wall with orbi in router mode last evening. Did PPPoE internet connection with isp provided username password and internet got connected. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am still not sure if my original problem of farthest room not getting internet while wifi signal shows medium to good is completely solved but seemed to be holding longer in this room now. Will monitor for few days
Whats the building material made up of? Wooden? or concrete?
What FW are you using currently on the system?
What is the Sqfeet of the this building?
What is the distance between the router and Satellite? 30 feet to begin with minimum.
building material is concrete. I live in an apartment of size 3400 sq ft, firmware of Orbi (both router and sateliite) is V2.1.4.10. the distance between router and satellite is approx 30 feet. The room that I face this problem in is approx 50 feet away from the satellite.
thanks
50' away thru concrete walls. I think that is your problem. Can you add an additional satellite and hardwire its backhaul?
Ya, concrete is not good. You should start by moving the satellites closer to the router. Start with around 25 feet in between.
