Orbi Satellites connection
I have my orbi satellites connected via ethernet, yet one always wants to connect wirelessly.
will there be a reason why it wants to connect wirelessly even though it should be connecting via e...
I've already contacted amazon and they are sending out a replacement system
Should be. :smileywink:
new system installed, but noticed after moving satellites to their new locations and rebooting the main orbi, it can take up to 10 minutes for the satellite to connect wirelessly (its about 25 feet away).
Also noticed that in the web interface it randomly reports the device as disconnected
25feet maybe too close, try 30feet.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO.Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

on channel 13
both enabled
20/40 not really best idea setting to 40 in an area with a lot of 2.4ghz wifi connections being broadcast
daisy chain is disabled
fast roaming enabled so it can connect to the satellites quicker
ipv6 settings not available in ap mode
Try settin the power output levels from 100% to 75% or 50% and see if this changes anything.
