Orbi randomly dropping internet connection despite V2.0.0.74 update
Hi all, I recently purchased an RBK50 Orbi + satellite router but it is dropping internet connection randomly despite updating firmware to the latest V2.0.0.74. This is more often the case upon...
Unless your security camera can tell you what the strength of the wifi signal is to the camera, you may want to just adjust where you have your Orbi satellite - it's very possible that something else has changed around that time that you updated firmware. It's very possible that is a coincidence, and a new wifi signal in the neighborhood is interfering with yours.
You may also want to look for updates for your network devices including security cameras. Also try turning off UPnP and seeing what happens.
I have moved my Orbi satellite around my home and everywhere I place I have strong signal, I have scanned my area and no new networks were found. The security camera I am using is a Kuna Security camera and the firmware is up to date. In fact I switch one of my Kuna camera’# to my ISP’s router and have not have any problems since. My Alro camera is just on the other side of the wall by my Kuna Camera and it has not lost signal at all. My other Kuna Security camera is connected to my satellite orbi and that one occasionally looses signal unless I turn off and on again and it will work for a few hours to a day or two then looses connection again all this after the Orbi update before the update I never lost signal at all and was perfect while I was on vacation, but this new update has been disconnecting my camera connect to the Orbi system and my arlo never disconnects. I will try turning off th UPnP to see if this helps.
