Orbi RBR20 Dropping Wi-Fi Network Coverage
Hi everyone. I’ve seen similar posts but never an actual solution to this problem. I’m running an RBR20, and 2 RBS20 satellites. All 3 with the latest firmware. I’ve replaced the modem, I’ve got a ...
The RBR is placed on the main floor and the RBS are placed upstairs.
Do you mean my router previous to me getting the Orbi system? Yes I do, and no, this issue did not happen with that router. The issue was that the single router was not good enough to cover the entire top floor, which is why I wanted to get the Orbi mesh system in the first place.

Last system was 20 series Orbi? Not sure if a 50 series system would have different behavior or not.
Seems like the 20 series isn't working well in your home. Most materials of mostly wood and sheet rock or something else?
- If it were just the RBS dropping offline, I potentially would agree with you. But I’ve sat in the same room as the RBR, with phone and laptop, with full strength Wi-Fi signal, everything working completely fine.. and then within the span of 5 minutes, the Wi-Fi network disconnects and reconnects (I.e. completely disappearing) 5-10 times. So that issue would have nothing to do with the building materials of my home.
You might try a 50 series system to see if this has any changes in behavior then.
- Thanks for trying to help.
