Orbi Satellites Losing Connection with Windows PC
I have the following setup: Orbi Router with FW V20.0.74 Orbi Satellite RBS50 FW V2.0.0.74 Orbi Satellite RBS50 FW V2.0.0.74 Orbi Wall Plug-In Satellite RBW30 FW V2.0.0.34_1.0.21 I work f...
Regarding your phone... The WNCE3001 is connecting to Orbi's WiFI, right? If so, then the issue sounds like it's with your VOIP phone's WiFi, not with the Orbi. I assume you could not wire the VOIP phone to the router or a satellite and that's why you are using the WNCE3001?
Regarding the laptop bouncing between router and satellite... You have a lot of satellites (3X) and that's not a good thing if their signals overlap. This can cause your devices to bounce between them. You might need to move the satellites, turn one or more of them off, or lower their WiFi power (especially on 2.4), in order to get stable results.
How many floors and approximate SF are you covering?
I stating having problems after adding the 3rd satellite wall plug in. I think I’ll lower the WiFi strength. Great idea.
I have 2 floors (25-30 foot ceilings from top to bottom) and around 6,000 sq foot of coverage.

- How do you lower it? I don’t seem to have an option like that?
Log into the router's GUI. It's under Advanced, Advanced Setup, Wireless settings. There is a setting for both 2.4G and 5G bands.
- I was hoping I could lower power for the individual satellites. I lowered the 2.4ghz to 75%.
What is the purpose of doing that?
