Satellite connecting and disconnecting
Hi! I'm having an issue where one of my Satellite's seems to keep disconnecting and reconnecting. I have a base router and two satellites. My house is about 3000 SQ FT but I have 3 to cover the di...
Do both satellites disconnect or just one?
Yes concrete and metal will impact signal and range. So you may need to move the farthest one a bit closer.
Might try disabling MIMO, Daisy Chaing and Fast Roaming.
Set manual channels on 2.4ghz to 1, 6 or 11 and any unused channel on 5Ghz. Try 48.

Try that. Also try a factory reset and set up from scratch as well...
Disable the advanced wifi features and try some manual channels as well.
