RBR20 roaming configuration
I have an RBR mesh system with 2 satellites and started to notice that My phone and TV were losing connection, even though I have a satellite withini 50 feet. I finally opened the app and found that...
A satellite 100ft away from the router?
On the Orbi web interface, Attached Devices page, what does it show for the status of the satellite?
Can you telnet into the router and type this command:
satellite_info wifi
When the satellite powers up, what does the "ring light" at the top display (for about 2 minutes before it goes out)?
The Orbi design is based on Orbi devices being "close enough" to have a strong signal, which in practice works out to between 25 and 50 feet. (in my opinion) 100ft. is WAY too far.
And, satellites should not be placed 5 ft. apart. That is far too close.
