Orbi Losing wifi connection
I have had the Orbi AC 2200 for a month now. 2 to 3 times a week we completely lose our wifi.
Hi there
Update below.
Since I took the Orbi's out of ethernet backhaul my problem has been resolved. My conclusion is that the powerline adapter that I was using for one of the Orbi's ethernet backhaul was the problem. I have these in wifi backhaul mode now and no issues showing.
Thank you for the help on this.
Can you share which PL model you were using?
I have one PL in my setup as well, but so far it seems to work.

- Hi
The model I was using was the TP Link AC 1200.
Is there much of an advantage using Ethernet backhaul as opposed to WiFi backhaul. My system appears to be running smoothly now over WiFi backhaul - Sorry correction it is the TP Link AC 1750 model
- Interesting. I have the AC 2200, seems to work.
There’s nothing wrong with wireless backhaul, unless your infrastructure allows for having good connections between the Orbi devices. In my setup, there’s no way to do wireless, I am pretty much depending on wired. - Thank you.
I have a strong connection on the wireless backhaul from what I see on the web app.
I have a 380 meg connection from Virgin so no issues there either.
I’m happy now so I’ll leave well enough alone
