Orbi Satelite 2 constantly disconnecting
Afternoon all, I've had RBR50 with 2 x RBS50 satelites in place for a year or so now. It hasn't always been plain sailing but the set up generally worked. BT SmartHub > RBR50 > Sat1 (in hallway) ...
So, without any notification or alert, my office satellite disconnected. I resynced it with the hallway sat and it reconnected, with 'Good 5Ghz' connection. Very shortly afterwards it 'drops' to 'Poor 2.4Ghz' connection. It just lacks consistency. There is no other interference, other than the occasional rain shower, that would interfere with the connection. It really is poor .... and just so incredibly frustrating!!!
I've just realised that when it was resynced it was connected to the main router ('Good') but then dropped off that router and connected to hallway satellite ('Poor'). This makes no sense!!
So, tried removing daisy chain config and resynced - surprise surprise, it is connecting to the hallway. However, that doesn't last very long and then disconnects. The app on my phone didn't see the connection at any stage though so its hard to know which app is accurate - phone app or desktop app.
Not sure if these photos I am posting are actually making it to the thread. Do they need approval first? What is that little penguin all about??
