Orbi Outdoor connection issues

Try lowering the transmit power on the RBR as well. Should help here.
Might consider updating FW on the inside RBS first, then RBR lastly as well:
Hi.. Thanks for the reply.
I have RBR50 connected to 2 satellites and an outdoor orbi.
Firmware is 2.7.4.24
The router is a cable modem in bridge mode so the orbi router does all the work.
Yes I have a high quality cable but the router isn't the problem it has never gone down or caused any issues. The issue is that the outdoor orbi connects to the orbi router rather then the orbi satellite which is closer hence giving me a slow and intermittent connection in the outdoor office.
My home is 2000sq ft but the office is in the garden with the outdoor orbi in between the house and garden office.
the first satellite is 43 feet from the router and the outdoor orbi is outside and about 40 feet from the satellite.
It used to connect to the satellite but when the power went out a while back it connected to the router with a poor status connection. I eventually reset everything and it reconnected to the satellite but after a recent power outtage it has now connected back to the router and won't connect to the satellite....
Is there some way of forcing the outdoor orbi to connect to the satellite rather then the router?
