Orbi Lan connection issues
Hi! My orbi system (RBR50 with 2 RBS50) has been great, it provides strong and reliable wifi everywhere but recently a major bug has been troubling me. The system will randomly drop LAN communicat...
Have you tried disabling one of the satellites? maybe its an issue with a specific satellite.
Are your satellites hardwired in or using the wireless backhaul?
Any switches connected? (if so, what models)
What gateway is the router connected to?
> Maybe its an issue with a specific satellite.
It happens on both of them. More so for the devices in between the router and one of the satellites. A reboot of the satillite fixes it.
> Are your satellites hardwired in or using the wireless backhaul?
Wireless backhaul. I cannot wire them.
> Any switches connected?
Netgear unmanaged GS308. This shouldnt effect the orbi due to being unmanaged.
> What gateway is the router connected to?
Just a NBN Arris box for internet. This would not effect the orbis routing capability.
What arris box is it?
Brick walls are great for creating instabilities between router/satellites.
have you tried using powerline or moca adapters to hardwire in the satellites?
Hi,
The arris box has a model number of "CM8200" It really shouldnt be doing anything as its just a cable modem.
I agree that brick walls can cause instability, and that could be the issue, But due to them having a good backhaul signal i don’t think that’s the issue. I also believe this because it only happens to some devices, and not all of them at the same time which makes me to think its something else. Other then this, the system is great.
No I have not tried powerline ethernet.
Thanks for replying.
