Orbi dropping internet connection but seems to be only iphone and ipad
Base problem seems to be with iphone and ipad, but its a pile of crazy inconsistent things happening. This has been happening for at least a week, maybe 2. Most often I lose wifi connection to the ...
I think I understand what it is you're doing, but I have to ask....where/what does the ethernet in each of your rooms connect to?
In my experience with the Orbi I run it as a Router plus extender (Sats). Seems to work best. The total layout is ; modem, Orbi router, WIFI to Sat.
FYI....I don't do beta updates or tweaks to the settings. Much of the typical slow down across a household network can often be traced to the pipeline (your neighbors, time of day, etc.)
something else I noticed in your OP:..."There is no led ring lit on top. "
From my understanding, once the Orbi router and Sats connect / snych / and settle down, the led ring light will go OFF.
