Orbi RBR50 Mesh performance issues

Have you tried enabling Daisy Chain?

Hi guys, I hope all of you are well and safe.

 

I'm facing a performance issue for a while in my home network. I have a RBR50 + 2 RBS50 (version V2.5.1.8) and 1 RBW30 (version

V2.3.5.6). My apartment has 3000 sq ft and my topology is:

 

Network Topology 

 

As you can see all the satellites are connecting directly to the router and the issue is with the RBS50 called "Orbi Sala" which is located at the sitting room. This specific AP is too far from the router and even trying all the recommended settings I could find here (thanks to FURRYE38 and the others) I can’t make it connect to the RSB50 called “Orbi Game Room” which is located in the middle of the apartment close to the Router. I did a factory reset after the last firmware upgrade and made the configuration from the scratch.

 

Unfortunately my apartment is old and the walls are made of thick concrete which blocks a lot of my signal and I can’t reach with cables the sitting room. 

 

My question is: Is there any way to force the sitting room AP to use the Game Room AP as a “bridge” to reach out to the RBR50 with better performance? I’ve tried to reduced the transmit power to all possible options with no chance at all. Since it’s not possible to disable the 2.4ghz radio I still have a few devices connecting to this radio causing performance issues.

 

Also, is that possible to force a device to connect to a specific satellite? I can see a few devices close to one satellite but they are connecting to the router far from them and the performance is impacted.

 

I am considering to change the solution although I find Orbi fantastic and use since 2017. My old apartment was smaller and I never had these issues.

 

 

Thank you all to the contribution in the forum. I hope there is a solution to my case.
