Orbi having Problem with Cisco IP Phone SPA525G in Wireless Mode
I have an Orbi system. It has a Router, 2 satellites (RBS50s) and a wall plug in satellite (RBW30). I bought a brand new Cisco IP Phone SPA525G and have it connected wireless to my Orbi network. I...
What and where is fast transition? I’m not sure it’s turned on?
Sorry - Fast Roaming on Advanced wireless settings - Way at the bottom of that page. You could make sure that is off.
Also I had to turn off my UPnP to have a stable Wifi network. Not sure if some of your devices are affecting that for you as well.
- That’s funny. I actually had fast roaming turned off last week when I had the problem. I turned it on over the weekend to see what would happen. It’s the opposite advise, but I want to at least test to see if maybe the “fast” part would allow it to move quicker and not unregister from Vonage? I’m not sure about the UPnP option. I have over 47 devices attached and I am 99% sure I have configured a device particularly using that. Scares me to turn it off.
What is UPnP used for? Thanks again.UPnP opens up ports to allow people on the internet to initiate access to your internal network devices without you explicitly setting it up in Advanced settings. I would turn it off and test your network stability and if the instability goes away then you know you have a bad UPnP devices on your network. You can always open ports explicetly under advanced settings / Port Forwarding. The worst that can happen is temporarily you cannot reach something on your network from outside your home when you are on the internet.
