Proper channel
I have my orbi connected to a Verizon Actiontec router that is selected on channel 5. Should I leave my Orbi on automatc or should I select a channel that has less traffic in my neighborhood? I am no...

Thanks. I would like to try that. How do I put the orbi in AP mode?

Ok found it. Do I also need to "I would disable MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming as well. "?
right now i have the following checked:
| Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices | |
| Enable MU-MIMO | |
| Enable Fast Roaming |

Hi Gellie,
Personally, I have all mine checked and I don't experience issues with my devices dropping off the Wi-Fi network. If you do (in particular, older Wi-Fi devices), you should leave those unchecked.
I see them as: checked for performance and unchecked for stability.
Regards,

Leave Beamforming enabled. If you have any known MIMO supporting devices you can enable this as well, if not, disable it and Fast Roaming. Daisy Chain is for two or more satellites set up in a line piggybacking off each other. I recommend disabling this for now.

Also are these drops normal?
