Orbi losing packets
Hello, I'm seeing packet losses with my Orbi. I have the RBK53 (RBK50, boxed with two remote Orbi devices). The Orbi is hardwired to my firewall. Also hardwired to my firewall is a Linux...
A little bit more information on my post - I am running my tests while connected via WiFi to the router, not a satellite.
At Webminster's suggestion, I am going to ping test different devices connected to router/satellites to see what happens.
So far I'm not losing packets. I'm not sure if it was due to the firmware update or the rebooting of the devices.
I ran a ping test to 8.8.8.8 for 1.5 days. On average, I am losing about 8 ms in latency using WiFi vs. hardwired, but I can live with that.
I'll continue to monitor to see if I get any packet losses, but so far things are looking good.
Just installed the 2.1.2.10 beta this morning, been running a couple of casual tests. Hasn't helped my latency variations though the satellite to some hardwired addresses on my local network. Variations on a local Linux box from 2ms to 300ms, sometimes no packet loss, sometimes between 1% and 20+%. The loss and variances are cyclic. Tried looking at Wifi Analyzer for any obvious conflicts on the 5G band, don't see any.
Using ping to my fios gateway I am getting no packet loss with about 5ms latency.
thr route is far sat to sat one to Orbi router to fios gateway.
daisy chain. 2.1.2
I did get losses and much more latency in precious firmware version.
I tried several devices. About 1000 pings. One was lost. Late Cy varied from 2-11 ms.
