Satellites lose dns connectivity reproducibly
A consistent and regular issue I encounter is satellites losing dsn connectivity. I've been testing and troubleshooting orbi pretty thorgoughly (not by choise mind you) and this is a consistently re...
Is this the only satellite to exhibit this issue? Try swapping around satellites to see if problem follows?
Try setting this one satellite at around 30-40 feet.
I presume max distance between the router and farthest satellite depending upon building materials maybe around 50-60 feet. Mines at 40 feet. Both wired and wireless have not experienced this kind of problem.
I've swapped satellites and am now testing the beta firmware and still see the same issue. Both satellites lose dns connectivity. Specifically all devices connected to those satellites lose dns connectivity but devices connected to the router do not. When this occurs, devices connected to satellites are able to ping the router just fine.
This is fixed by powercylcing the satellites. It appears to be that what triggers it is load.
Ok, keep us posted. If the beta FW doesn't fix this, I would ask NG for replacement RMA on the satellites.
