RBK50 and RBS50: constantly disconnecting and dropping internet
Running on 2.1.4.16.
I have an Orbi RBK50 connected through wired backhaul and an RBS50 connected wirelessly on my network. The system works great periodically, but on some days it constantly ...
I faced similar problem before. I downgrade the firmware back to V2.1.4.10. Disable Daisy-Chain Topology , MU-MIMO and Fast Roaming at Advanced Wireless Settings. Then set a separate SSID for the 5 GHz network on your Orbi https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-to-set-a-separate-SSID-for-the-5-GHz-network-on-your-Orbi/td-p/1396594
No more dropping afterward.
Hope it can help.
How will this impact the wired backhaul functionality? How did turning off those options impact your speed and performance?
Turn off these functions will improve the stability of orbi and then decrease the drop off rate (personal experience).
I'll give it a shot and report back.
