RBK43S-100NAS Signal and Connected Devices
Hi I am new to this forum and had a few questions on my RBK43S-100NAS system I just got at Best Buy. I have it setup already, speed is decent, but the network map shows satelites with poor reception...
I would try the new FW. Load the RBS first then RBR lastly, factory reset and setup from scratch. All will be on the same version of FW.
Ok thanks! The modem has built in digital phone and I opted out from getthing the one with built-in Wifi cause I use my own and didn't want any interfiernce. Ok let me try that 20/40 uncheck option.
Ok, just making sure. Modem only is preferred.
I would disable Daisy chain to see of the status of the connection changes. You can re-enable after trying this out.
There is newer FW available as well, something to try as well:

One user posted his experience with it here:
Yeah I don't have a choice, I need the modem with digital phone. Anyways, I don't understand why my system is running Firmware 2.3.5.32 for the Router and 2.3.5.30 for the satelites and says its up to date. And this new one you referring to is already on a very new version 2.5.1.16. Also the setup I have won't work with Daisy chain disabled, the router doesn't reach the 2nd satelite i've tried. The Router is about 60 to 70 feet away from the 2nd satelite.

- I installed the new firmware. I forgot the steps, so I actually updated the Router 1st followed by each Satellite after, seems it went well. I then mounted the Satellites on the wall about 10ft up. Now I have good signal and all GREEN status via the Orbi App network map. Thanks đ
