Several issues with wireless devices on orbi need assistance
I bought the orbi about a week ago setup was a breeze and I'm getting amazing Wi-Fi when I do a speed test however that's the only benefit I have so far. The following are the issues that I'm havin...
What FW version are you using currently? 2.1.4.10 - RBR40
2.1.3.6 RBW30
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?
Will check when I'm home
What channels are you using? Try 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
I have tried 1,6 and 11. Currently last test is on 11.
Any wifi nieghbors near by? If so, how many?
4 same as with my Nighthawk
What distance is in between the router and satellite(s)? Feet.
10 feet to the first, 30 to the second.
Disable MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming on the router, save settings and reboot.
I have done that several times.
Do you have any wireless devices that have there own wireless broadcast by chance
Yes I have a few (slowly turning them off for testing). Tp-link, DD-WRT Router, and an Netgear extender.
All satellites should be place about 30 feet starting from the router. 10 feet is too close. The router can cover up to about 30feet on it's own depending on building materials.
Besure to disable ALL other wifi broadcast devcies and see how it goes...
- I move the satellite and it helped with a lot of the devices but my cameras are still not staying on the network.
It's weird though because I have a wireless camera Assad can that has been solid since I do the satellite but my other camera that's right next to my second satellite keeps dropping
