Orbi RBR10 Router Wifi
We just set up a RBR10 system last fall, my question is, is there a way that I can point a device so it only connects thru the RBR10 and not one of the satellites? Problem im having is I work at hom...
Is the Roku streaming stick perhaps "behind the television set" (made of metal) and does not have a clear line-of-sight to the RBR10?
With the satellite 98 ft. from the router, it is a wonder the satellite has a connection at all. Does it really show as "Good" in the Orbi web interface, Attached Devices display?
With the "10" satellite not having an Ethernet port, many of the solutions that are often suggested are not appropriate. (Powerline, MoCA, etc.)
There are several Roku units which support Ethernet. That would allow the Roku to connect directly to the RBR10 (or to an inexpensive Ethernet switch that is connected to the RBR10). This will eliminate that specific issue at a cost of under $100.
Roku is 5 feet from the Orbi and it sits above the roku so thats not an issue, but a good thought
