Orbi Router(RBR50) satellite dropping internet connection
I'm afraid I dont have a degree in networking but I can tell you that my Orbi Router(RBR50) continues to lose internet connection from one of the satellites. Drops for 10-15 seconds multiple times...

My wife uses satellite downstairs for work and has no issues, I should change over to also test but don't want to risk inflicting issues I have on her!!

If you shut the one down that you're using, does it experience drops?

Again, just trying to figure out if its a specific satellite issue.
Have you tried moving your satellite around? Or factory resetting and reinstalling it?

Hi Pleemans
Thanks so much for coming back to me on this..
I swaped the satellites and although still connected the speed was very slow and caused certain services to fail in the browser.
I have switched off the problematic satellite so will monitor. On that if you can recommend a good monitoring tool usable in W10 that would be very helpful.

I don't have a good monitoring program.
But if you figure out which satellite it is, then I'd recommend reinstalling the firmware to that satellite (might be corrupt) and doing a factory reset and reinstall on it.

Hi
So the laptop connected fine using downstairs satelite - I switched the problematic one off.
I'll try reset..I believe that the firmware is up to date:
Thanks again.
