Satellites drop all clients
I have a RBR50 system with two sattelites.The firmware is V2.1.1.16 . Suddenly both the sattelites dropped all their clients. The Router Software clearly showed that the Sattelites were connected to...
Add me to the list. 2.1.16. Strangely my roku was unable to be connected to any wireless when this happened as it appeared unable to break its connection to the satellite, yet the satellite dropped all clients. I am at wits end with the amount of time invested over the past month trying to just keep my existing setup up and running. Literally days of my life, and I have a completely default setup with orbi. I wish netgear would offer some sort of exchange for a new nighthawk or something for those of us with issues. I realize I paid far more for my orbi system but at this point I just want to stop working so hard to maintain connected devices.
I have been able to solve my problems by a hard reboot of the router, and the sattelites if necessary. However the problem is how do we handle surveillance cameras which stop functioning when we are on vacation due to these issues with the sattelite malfunction.
I wish Netgear would provide the ability to the reboot the router or sattelites via software. which we would acess remotely.That would allow us to be be more tolerant of the quirks of the system.
