Satellites and wall plug in
God day to all, I would like to know if it’s possible to connect 3 satellites and also add a wall plug-in to my router, I’ve heard that only 3 satellites per router are allowed. Thanks a lot in adva...
I have the AC2200 Orbi Router and satellite installed, want to add an additional satellite...when I added the 2nd..my wifi speed slowed down to near nothing....without the additional satellite, my wifi speed is d/load 225 and upload is @ 11. What could cause the downgrade in speed with additional satellite?
Thanks
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
FW versions same across RBR and RBSs?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-routerWhat channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).What was the reason for adding a 2nd RBS?
