ORBI RBR50 Dropping Connection - Firmware 2.2.1.210
Our ORBI is dropping the internet connection at least daily it seems to be a common problem from the posts - anything that definitely works? Our house is 2700 sq feet. The satellite is about 30 feet a...
I have a RBR50 and 2 RBS50 satellites. All are on firmware V2.2.1.210.
The system was constantly dropping connections throughout the day. I was also randomly receiving SSL/certificate warnings when visiting websites from my PC and Android phone.
Yesterday, I logged onto my RBR50's web interface, went to Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings > Changed my 2.4 ghz power settings from 100% to 75% AND enabled Fast Roaming.
I have not experienced a dropped connection nor received a SSL/certificate warning since making both changes at the same time. For what it's worth, I did not do a factory reset on the router or satellites before making the changes, and my channel settings are still set to the default settings. I hope this helps someone else experiencing similar issues. If I experience dropped connections again, I will re-post.
