RBS50, RBS20, ... Network interruption when connection goes from one satellite to the next
Dear community, I'm proud owner of an Orbi system and in general I'm really satisfied with the performance. One topic bothers me still with the system. We have 3 floors in our house (cellar,...
Hey all, sorry for the late response, I was afk for a while.
Somehow the topic got resolved by itself. I didn´t change any setting, but now I can roam without interruption.
So from my point of view, the topic is solved!
How many sq ft is your home?
the satellites/router need to be at minimum 30ft apart.
I actually had better service in my home by removing a satellite because they were to close together. I've tested from just 1 satellite to having 4x satellites. 3/4 satellites were to much coverage and devices didn't roam properly. With 1 or 2, it worked the best.
another thing you can try doing if possible is to centrally locate the main router to help prevent daisy chaining. that can add latency and that might be enough to cause drops
The satellites and routers should be more than 30sqft away from each other.
All of the satellites are directly (by lan wire or by bachhaul Wifi) connected to the router, so I do not have a daisy chain setup. 2 of the 3 satellites are even connected via lan wiring to the router, one satellite is connected via backhaul wifi.
All satellites have a pretty good speed,either in 2,4 or (when closer) in the 5Ghz connnection.
The problem is really when I roam from one stallite to the router or the other satellite.
have you noticed if its specific to a certain satellite or does it happen with them all?
just wondering about shutting off a couple (for testing) and just use the router and single satellite and seeing how it does. And then if that one works fine, power it off and try the next. Helps to figure out if its a full system issue or just a single satellite issue.Hm it is technically, whenever I leave the field of one Satellite (or router) and roam into the other field.
So it seems, that the change of MAC Adress of the satellite cuts the connection just for long enough.
