Orbi RBR50 + Satellite wifi dropouts, wired/wireless setup
Hi all! I have a RBK50 system (RBR50 router + RBS50 satellite) which is giving me lots of trouble with the wifi connection. Let me explain my setup please: Internet comes from the ISP router in b...
Hello, thank you!
Firmware version: 2.5.2.4
ISP modem model: Mitrastar GPT-2541 GNAC
WIFI neighbours: 3
About distance between satellite and router: never imagined that "being too close" could be a problem. I thought the opposite would be.
Distance between the RBR and RBS is important.
Also you might update to v40:
Others have posted that v4 isn't working well...Or downgrade to v16.
Thank you for your answer!
- I've updated both router and satellite to 2.6.140
- I've moved my satellite upstairs (I live in a duplex), to the opposite side of the house (>30 feet), and now it's connected by ethernet to the TP-Link switch, so I have wired backhaul.
I'll wait for a day to see how it performs, but I'm afraid that now I have some dead zones downstairs that I did not have before (maybe adding a RBS20 satellite downstairs would help? But it would be a bit less that 30 feet to the router, with some walls inbetween though...).
BTW, my Advanced Wireless settings are:20/40 MHz Coexistence enabled
WMM enabled for 2.4 and 5GHz
Daisy chain topology disabled
Implicit Beamforming enabled
MU-MIMO enabled
Fast roaming disabled
