Orbi AC3000 generally unhappy
hi, I am struggling with a few issues with wifi on my Orbis: I have six Phorus PR5 receivers (these are hard-wired to an amp which is connected to wired ceiling speakers around the house and al...
Final update: I bought the Nintendo Ethernet adapter (above) for all the PR5s and they have been rock solid since.
Given that the MBP does not always appear in the list of AirPlay devices, plus the iPad issue when connected to the Orbi satellite, plus the drop outs on signal on the Orbis, I will lay the blame on the Orbis, but it is not 100% proven.
Done messing with this, and shame i had to throw money at the issues.
Hello Stinky_W_Teats ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having issues with your Phorus PR5 Receiver connecting to the 5Ghz band. This may be caused by the Phorus PR5 Receiver compatibility. The Phorus PR5 Receiver is compatible with the 802.11a/n Wi-Fi wireless protocol. The wireless standard needed for 5Ghz compatibility is 802.11ac.
Best,

802.11ac is backward compatible with 802.11n
