Orbi Backhaul Drops
I have spent countless hours researching and testing to very little avail. I have 1 RBR50 and 3 RBS50s. I currently have one two sats online as I am trying to minimize channel overlap from being my...
I've used the telnet interface 2 properly space my satellites away from the router while maintaining a -65 to -67dbm. So I don't think they are too close not do I think they are too far away. I would estimate that each node is about 30' away from the router.
I live on a 3 acre lot and while I can see one neighbor's SSID, they signal strength is -80dbm so I don't think channel overlap with my neighbors are the issue.
I have the 2.4GHz set manually to channel 6 and the 5GHz set to channel 44.
Using WiFi analyzer, I can verify that those are the best channels and that there isn't a bunch of rogue ssids within range causing problems.
What's interesting is that the router drops the connection to all satellites at the same time, so I'm thinking I may have a hardware issue.
I have tried it with just one satellite but don't recall if I had the same drops. I'll retest that idea and let you know the results.
Thanks for the suggestion.

You might as about an RMA...
