Orbi loosing part of the network NOT Internet
I have strange disconnection problems that it is not loosing Internet access. But I am losing part of my LAN that is connected to one satellite. I have 2 satellite and 1 Orbi router set up. All par...
I believe this to be the case with others have reported that they have not been able to control their various smart devices. In my case it is my chromecast and NAS. It happens mostly when I move from one part of the house to another. Typically resolve by manually disconnect my phone from network then reconnect when I am closest to the Orbi that those devices are connected to. I know that I am not the only one but problems is hard to spot unless you have smart device that access via LAN and not Internet as Internet still works.
Hm, you'd think if you lost LAN on the satellite, you'd lose the internet, too; the Orbi satellites use a type of LAN (the backhaul) to get internet.
Maybe expected question: have you checked your backhaul? Is it steady and strong? If you don't know how, check my instructions here. Technically, both satellites should be dropping, though, so you might not have the same issue.
You're on v1.10.1.2, right? Did you try re-syncing the 'bad' satellite? Does it come up blue for signal? (you've probably done these, but I just want to check).
