orbi RBK50 not connecting to iPad pro
Ipad pro is not connecting to Orbi RBK 50
I tried a solution yesterday, which seems to be working. Let's see how it lasts.
Steps:
- Login to you 192.168.1.1 to access your admin panel
- Click on Advanced tab
- Expand the Advanced sub-menu
- Click on Wireless Settings
- Change the CTS/RTS Threshold Preamble Modes - 2.4Ghz Preamble from Auto to Short and 5Ghz from Auto to Long.
- Apply changes.
Let's see how long this lasts. I haven't had to disable/enable my iDevice wifi since then. Image is attached.
Orbi AX6000 RBK850
Firmware V3.2.18_1.4.14
Cool, please do let us know how it turns out!
It seemed to work for quite a while, but then the old issues reappeared. It's annoying that I spent many hundreds of dollars for the router plus 3 satellites and have to dive in extremely deep into troubleshooting. I am in IT and am pretty savvy. IDK how a normal lay person could deal with this. I had many guests over during Memorial Day weekend that also experiences the same problem with their iDevices, Again, I can't tell if it's Orbi or iDevices or combination of both. I will unfortunately need to try a different product/brand (and do research on this issue with the brand!).
I recommend that you make a new post over in the Orbi AX forum as the Orbi AC systems differ from Orbi AX:

We can give you more sugggestion to try and see if they will help you with your problem.
