Also check Daisy Chain as well. Might disable this if it's not.

You can also turn down the power output of the wifi radios on the RBR as well. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Hi All,

I seem to be struggling with my newly purchased Ring outdoor cam's and my Orbi system. I have the RBR50 and the RBS50 satellites. The camera's are outdoors and seem to want to connect to my router only which is at the opposite end of the home (inside). Additionally, I purchased the RBS50Y (Outdoor Orbi Extender) and frustratingly enough, the cameras seem to ignore it completely.

I've followed some of the tips on the thread (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Best-Performance-for-Ring-Devices-Orbi-Config-Settings/td-p/1768448/page/3) but still am getting weak signals to the Ring cam's. I am tempted to return my outdoor Orbi at this point and potentially my Ring cam's also.

Any tips or advice here? My home is only about 2k square feet so it's not huge.

Thanks,

What would you recommend the value be? Is the idea that the lower the radio signal from the router, the more likely it is that the Ring camera will divert to a satellite?

  Try 75% first then see now the camera operates, then try 50%. You can always put the power back.
