ORBI
Any updates on how to help Orbi from intermittently disconnecting from internet? IT\ts terribly frustrating and completely unacceptable for a device to cost this much and have such poor performance....
I wuold try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz, what ever channel doesn't have much other wifi nieghbors using it.
How would I tell what channels the neighbors are using?
Also what is the distance between the Orbi router and satellite? Feet?
Probablay 20-25 ft
Let us know about the other questions...
Load up a free wireless scanner and it will tell you what you and others are using.
Distance is maybe too close. Starting should be 30feet in between depending upon building materials.
The satelite and router have always been this close. Would this just now be causing a problem after 6 months?
What is the maximum distance the satelite and router can be placed?
Depending upon building materials, some users have posted 50-60feet. Mines currently 40 feet in between. The router alone can conver up to 30 feet on it's own. This is just another factor to consider. I'm hoping that maybe changing from auto to manual channels 1, 6 or 11 will be the man factor here...

tried changing frequencies. Still not online on devices. Can get online on desktop that is wireless as well.
I see on the wifi scanner that for some reason I have 2 wifi on 2.4 and 2 wifi on 5.4. Not sure why unless one is the satelite.
Frustrated beyond belief
