Orbi RBR40 Disconnects
Hello all. Frustrated here and looking for some guidance. I have an Orbi RBR40 and 3 RBW30 satellites purchased new in late 2017. This system has been flawless and has worked wonderfully up until...
Thank you so much for your response. I have answered your questions below. I tried your suggestions with no luck. Still getting disconnected multiple times a day. Very frustating and interfering with my job. Any further help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? 1800+ sq ft
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. All connected within 30 ft of each other.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? Have tried all channels suggested. Doesn't seem to make a difference. 2 wifi neighbors I can see.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or may not be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. Beamforming, MIMO amd WMM have all been all enabled.
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.
Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 all disabled. Coexistence set to 40Mhz. Short preamble set on both 2.4 and 5 ghz.
What happens if you turn OFF ALL RBWs and just use the RBR alone?
Do you see any top ring LED turn ON on the RBR when the RBR disconnects?
