Orbi backhall signal dropping to Zero
When I upgraded to the latest firmware the backhall signal started to drop to zero. It was smooth prior to the upgrade. This has to degrade performance. See below. What can be done?
Just checked and the 2013 Galaxy Tab 3 doesn't have ac Wi-Fi. That must have something to do with the results.
Right. No AC, but it has a 5GHz a/n radio and that should be all that's required, based on inssider's documentation of approved WiFi cards anyway. They say:
"
802.11ac Support
If you want to make sure that you can scan for 802.11ac networks, all you need is a 5 GHz a/n compatible adapter.
All 802.11ac management traffic is backwards compatible with 802.11a/n, so we can find out everything we need to know about an 802.11ac network with an 802.11a/n adapter.

I can see the probe requests from the Samsung and the probe responses back from ac APs on wireshark, so it's working. And, the Tab 3 is the only device that reports a stable backhaul!
