Orbi RBR20 Wifi Sucks
I have had the Orbi RBR20 from Costco for a few months now and I have to say it sucks.Originally we had the satellite dropping the connection from the router ever minute. That was bad enough. Now we ...
Try testing with the satellite OFF.
20 feet maybe too close. What is the signal of the satellite seen on the satellite? Good, Bad?
If you tring AP mode, the modem should have been in router mode and the Orbi in AP mode should have been passed internet traffic. DMZ will not be used in this mode on the modem.
For Apple wireless issues:
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Change the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.

For the Apple TV, it’s actually a iTalkBB. Basically an Apple TV but Chinese. Should I still use the settings that you recommended?
