RBR50 / RBS50 / UK / Virgin meda - Satellite drops connection
I have a RBR50 connected to my virgin media router, with a sattelite positioned at the opposite corner of the house, the satellite connects ok and gives me 100mb download speeds which is perfect, but...
If your modem is in modem mode, then your Orbi RBR needes to be in ROUTER mode. Not AP mode.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

When i change channels, do i need to change them on both the router and sattelite? I assume i do... problem is that i cannot login to the sattelite...
I have done a factory reset on the sattelite and tried admin/password without luck, what is the sattelite default username and password?
