Orbi Connection glitch
Ran into my first issue with the Orbi. Some devices appear to be disconnecting and reconnecting rapidly to the Orbi's SSID. My wife first reported it on her programming laptop yesterday morning, in...
Support suggested changing 2.4 Ghz channel from Auto to 6, and 5 Ghz channel from 48 to 40. Just sounds like general troubleshooting so far. We will see if that improves anything.
I'm seeing simillar items in my log. Any improvement with the changes that support suggested?
Ended up changing to 2.4 Ghz to channel 1 after looking at SSID Analyzer, but it wasn't very congested at 6 to begin with.
Looking at the log, I have 3 internet connected messagess, and just a ton of the ones with the most DHCP IP reconnects in the last day are my Windows 10 Mobile phone, and an Ipad Air. The windows 10 mobile seems to always show up under the Router Connection no matter where the phone physically is. My work phone (android) is sitting on the desk here 2 feet from the windows phone and it is showing up (properly) under the Satellite Connection.
The Ipad is more curious as it is mostly not being used and sitting in the charging area for very long amounts of time, and the charging area is not very far from the satellite location. It never shows up on the attached devices list when I look, so its like it is "checking in" and then disconnecting or something. I will actually go turn it on and check its wireless settings and see if I can watch a video with it, and make it attach to the network.
