Orbi RBR40 + RBW30s dropping connection - what is optimal layout?
Hello friends! I am experiencing regular WiFi dropouts on my Netgear Orbi setup in a multistorey illustrated in the attached drawing. The RBW30s are directly vertical to each other on each floor with...
Thanks for the drawing. I am not at all surprised that the 1st and 2nd floor satellites both choose the router. "Good" is the best it gets. Orbi units have typical dipole antennas which radiate a "do nut" shaped pattern, so the weakest signal is directly above and below. Would it be possible to try the 3rd floor satellite in different locations? (The best thing about Orbi satellites is how easy it is to move them.)
