orbi satellite-2 drops connection to satellite-1 = no internet connection
when the system works well, i have satellite-1 connected to router with good backhaul status and satellite-2 connected to satellite-1 with good backhaul status. several times per week at apparently ...
To clarify the problem, there is NO issue with internet on the router or satellite-1. the issue is that satellite-2 switches from a connection with satellite-1 (obviously daisy chain is on) to the router. when satellite-2 switches connection to the router, internet connectivity for devices connected ONLY with satellite-2 is dropped. devices connected to the router and to satellite-1 are not affected.
distance, firmware, etc, are all in the original post.
The issue is with instability in the connectivity between satellites, not connectivity between devices and the system. The system works well when satellite-2 is connected to satellite-1, but is HORRIBLE when satellite-2 randomly drops its connection with satellite-1 and connects to the router. All I want to do is FORCE satellite-2 to remain connected to satellite-1.
Try swapping satellite positions. Put #2 where 1 is and where 2 is put #1.
Try taking the check mark out of Daisy Chain and save and apply. Reboot boot router and satellites. Bring up the 1st satellite, then turn on the 2nd satellite.
I would make the distance between the router and satellite 1 farther. 25 feet maybe too close and thus maybe a reason why Sat2 is connecting to the router. It's getting better signal from the router and the signal overlap is better with the router than with Sat1
Does this problem follow Sat2?
