Orbi RBR50 Router going off-line frequently
Over the last few weeks the ORBI RBR50 Router wirelss access has been going off-line frequently, and almost daily now (or it seems.) It may work great for a day or two then the wireless quits working...
FURRYe38 Thanks for the direction.
No factory reset has been performed. Before I do that, #1 question is if I reestablish the same SSID and Passwords, will my wireless devices reconnect or will I have to reset each device manually (40+ smart home devices on wireless)?
"Modem" is a ZHONE Mode ZNID-GE2424-NA-0GN-ICA Rev. A1 - on Fiber internet connection, which I have no remote access to manage.
Home is approx. 3600 SQFT, distance is approx. 30' distance, standard frame construction. Router is on main floor, while Satellites are on 2nd and basement floors opposite router east and west. Current setup has been in place for 2 years.
2.4GHz was Auto, 5GHz was channel 48, have set to 6 and 44 respectively.
10 Wifi neighbors at last count/scan. Overlap on 2.4 channel one w/several neighbors (before reassigning to channel 6).
Disabling settings as recommended, set to short preamble and 40mhz only (assuming disable 20/40 defaults to 40), and testing/monitoring wireless connectivity.
After a factory reset, once you set your WiFi SSID and password to the same values as before, all of your previously configured WiFi devices will reconnect.
