Orbi RBR50v2 WiFi Connection Drops on Smartphone
Hello, I am a brand new Orbi customer. The wifi stops working for my cell phones (Samsung S9+) when some time passes after a successful connection. The wifi signal icon on the phone shows a exclam...
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain(Try this disabled), Fast Roaming(Try this both enabled and disabled), IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Hello FURRYe38,
First of all, thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it.
However, you mentioned a lot of things to try. I was anticipating a specific setting or setings to do that would correct this issue without trying so many things.
With that said, I am going to do some of the things you suggested trying, but I will just do one or two things and wait a while. I chose to dis-enable the Daisy-Chain Topology (since I am using wired backhaul) and enable beamforming.
I will let this go for a few days and see if the issue is gone away. If not, my plan is to enable fast roaming...wait and see; then enable MU-MIMO...wait and see.
I do not know what Circle is (nor have I ever heard of it) so, I am assuming that I do not have it. Also, I am assuming that you must mean to diable Bitdefender Total Access (Netgear Armor), when you mentioned Armor.
WMM was already enabled for both the 2.4G and 5G bands. There is no 40MHz only choice for the 20/40 MHz Coexistence, it is either enabled or not.
Again, thank you very much!

"There is no 40MHz only choice for the 20/40 MHz Coexistence, it is either enabled or not." Un-checking the check box next to this feature and applying the change enabled 40Mhz only.

Okay, thanks for the 20/40 MHz clarification.
