Orbi Satellite dropping connection regularly
Upgraded from Apple to orbi about 3 mo ago - wow! The speed increase is amazing. One downside though is my nest Hello camera loses WiFi connection pretty regularly over the last few months....every 1-...
Potentially could have been an update to the nest camera as well. I had a thermostat that would go offline daily for a coupe minutes and reconnect on its own. I thought it was my orbi as well and changed it out for another router and it would continue the same routine. It did it for a couple months until the firmware on the thermostat was updated.
Couple things you could try though.
1. Assign it a static IP/reserve its ip address
2. Check placment of your router/satellite. If its right in the middle it might be dynamically switching from one device to the other or potentially switching bands. When it does this, some smart devices register as offline and send the notice.
3. another thought is if you have auto on for your channel selection. It could be switching wifi channels and the camera drops off during the switch.
Does it automatically reconnect or do you have to reboot it?
