Orbi satellite dropping connection
Right to the point: my Orbi system has 2 satellites and 1 main tower. The internet drops/slows down (to the point where internet browsing is not possible) 2-3 times per day randomly without warning o...
So the accepted solution here according to the link is to give up and switch to google? Or install an old version of firmware and hope for the best?
I'm having all the same issues. During the day when we're using pcs one satelitte seems to reset every few hours meaning I go offline or very very slow. In the evening once a vpn and chromecast come into play, we're having dropped connections every forty minutes or so. I've had the RBR40 and 2 satelittes for just 6 days and am wishing I'd stuck to my ten times cheaper router and booster :-/ Anyone got a proven fix before I send it back whilst I'm within guarantee?
I went with the Eero Pro and couldn't be happier. No more disconnects or having to reboot satellites every day.
For what it's worth to everyone, ever since I put the RBS50 on a timer to force a power cycle, everything has been fine. It's a stupid workaround, but at least it's a temp fix (so far). We'll see what happens going into the weekend as I have fewer forced power cycles during the weekend time.
It went back. Tried the TP link deco instead - which worked great straight out of the box.
Yep, I just switched to Google WiFi. Works like an absolute dream right out of the box.
