Frequent network drop on Orbi RBK50
Hi
I recently purchased an Orbi router + satellite - the RBK 50 - 100INS Home Wi fi System.
Setup and installation was a breeze - probably the only thing enjoyable of the product!

Haha agreed :)
Yes, have powercycled both the router and the satellite. 12 hours in, not faced any problem as yet.
Also forgot to mention that I moved the satellite to within 10 feet of the router. Not sure if i should move it back to its original place of 30 feet away...
Will update in another 12 hours
Channel made a diif for me too...good to hear it's working , tho IMO, 10 feet is kind of close ( unless signal is going thru a steel mesh wall )... 30 feet where you last had it placed is prob better ( as long as you getting a good backhaul signal listing from the main unt )
Channels can make all the difference in a crowded signal environment. Here's a great article regarding how WiFi handles traffic on similar channels:
Good Luck!
- It’s been over 48 hours since I’ve change my channels from Auto to 1. So far no drop connection. Knock on wood...
