Orbi RBR40/RBS40 (V2.1.4.16) mesh network drops connection to Apple iMac
I have an ongoing issue where my Orbi RBR40/RBS40 (firmware = 2.1.4.16) mesh network drops the connection to an Apple iMac on OSX v10.13.5. No issues like this previously with my old Apple Time Capsu...
The changes that apparently fixed my connection issue...
In orbilogin.com, Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.
In orbilogin.com, Advanced WAN Setup changed MTU Size(in bytes) to 1492.
Powered down the Orbi. Powered down the cable modem. Restarted both.
Any other wifi neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What channels are you using? Try manual channels 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and other unused channels on 5Ghz.
Disable MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming.
Whats the distances between the router and satellites.
Whats the distances between the router, satellite and TV?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
