RBS50Y - Outdoor Mode vs Indoor Mode

Has anyone had experience and played around yet with these two settings to see if they get better speeds and connectivity with either one on/off? This setting option is accessable via the Orbi mobile...

Hi Winco

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

 

- How did you setup the RBS50Y? Is it Orbi Mode or Orbi Extender Mode? 

- What is the firmware version? 

- Is it synced to an Orbi router or Non-Orbi router? 

 

I setup a RBS50Y (Orbi mode) in our laboratory and was not able to see the options (Indoor or Outdoor mode). The options that are available:

 

(Web UI) Basic > Attached Devices > Click Device Name

- IP address , MAC Address, Device Model, Device name

- LED On/Off

- LED Lightning Brightness

- Schedule LED Lightning

- Sync (Disabled / Enabled) 

 

Using Orbi App: 

- LED On/Off

- Schedule LED Lightning

 

Please describe your setup for us to check further. 
 

Regards, 
Blanca
