Orbi CONSTANT Restarts, Disconnects, ETC
I have an RBR50 + 3x RBS50 pretty large home. When this system works.....it works fantastic full speed everywhere. I have been fighting this damn thing for 6 months now. I have exhausted every option...
Zoom 16x4 model 5370
6000 sqft plus front and back yard. Need the extra sats for front and back.
Pretty much done all this a few times. Ends up doing the same thing eventually.
One thing I cant do is run in AP mode. When i try to switch over it just crashes and i have to do a factory reset. ANy suggestions on how to switch to AP mode?
ANyone have the 2.2 beta firmware?
Ok, just making sure modem is stand alone only. Which is why AP mode won't work, you need a router in front of the Orbi when in AP mode.
Give my suggestions a try with one Satellite first. Then we'll add a 2nd. 5000sq ft is good with just one. However I'm sure the buiding lay out is much different.
How many nieghbors do you have near by?
Beta can only be given by NG support. If you want to, phone it and ask.

lots of neighbors but i have tried all the different channels and combinations.
How many and what channels are they using? I presume some are spread accross 1, 6 and 11?
How many on each channel.
You maybe in a wifi congested area.
You might try lowing the Transmit Power Control found under Advanced/Adanced Settings/Wireless Settings. This will generate a smaller wifi broadcast foot print which may help in some interferences from other neighbors. You may have to move the 1 Satellite a bit closer if you try this.

WHat would that have to do with the RBR50 disconnection from internet and losing connection? Restarting 4-5 times a day
