Orbi and Haiku Home - Big Fans - Problem

Useing my Orbi router and and connecting my Haiku fan to it. I am experincing a loss of connection to the router after about 15min.   If I remove my Orbi router and replace it with my linksys nonmash router I have no issues with connection.  So my question is , is there any settings that I can change or set to help my connection issue?   When the Fan disconnects from wifi I can not controll it from Alexa or my moble app.

    I currently have both "enable MU-MIMO" and "enable implicit BEAMFORMING" enabled and I am getting those disconnects.


    what fw are you on? If its 1.12.0.18 see the discussion thread on this firmware and possible downgrade options till a fix comes.

    Have you tried enabling beamforming on the ORBI router?  To do so, go to ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.  There is a box at the bottom of the screen called "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts Wi-Fi speed, reliabillity, & range for all mobile devices".

     

    Try that and see if that helps with your connection issue.
