RBR50 - multiple devices getting kicked off
When I first installed the the Orbi RBR50+RBS50 (about a month ago) with optical internet, the system performed great. The optical continues to perform well (500Mb/sec up and down), but the RBR50 has...
I responded to this once. If this reply also gets removed, I won't be visiting these forums if I can avoid it.
Thanks for your response.
- Our home is about 2k square feet. The router and satellite are less than 30 feet apart (though they do not have line-of-sight). But remember that the booting off only happens on the router, not on the satellite.
- Our nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away. I have seen their SSID at the edge of our property, but not when in our house.
- I've never seen a device connected at 2.4Gz. It's set to auto channel.
- 5Ghz is set to channel 58 and has been since day one.
- I upgraded the firmware to 2.5.1.16 the day I installed these. The main unit is in router mode.
- The day that the optical was installed (5 weeks ago), I did a factory reset and tuned everything from there.
- Zoom, RDP, and a few other internet apps were getting terrible performance until I disabled WMM.
- Disabled: fast-roaming, daisy-chain, WMM, 20/40 coexist, IPv6, Armor, and Circle. These have all been turned off for a while.
- Enabled: beamforming (been on for a while) and MU-MIMO (enabled today).
- Preamble is set to automatic, but I can try short mode later if the problems continue.
- 20/40Mhz coexist is disabled, but I can try 40Mhz if the problems continue.
- I know nothing about the optical modem. I can get those details, but this does not appear to be related to the optical router.
Thanks again.
Oops. 5Ghz channel should be 48.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

It still seems very unlikely that this is related to that router. It's a Calix GigaPoint 803G. Honestly, given that it's wifi that the devices are getting kicked off of, the ISP router is only tangentially related.
That being said, since enabling MU-MIMO, neither device has lost wifi connection. We'll see if that track record continues.
Thanks for your input.
Is Beamforming enabled as well?
