Smart TV cannot connect to Orbi RBK50 Satellite
Hello I just purchased a new LG smart TV, but it cannot connect to the satellite which is right next to TV. TV can connect to the main router after I unplug the satellite unit , but the main base u...
On what channel is the Orbi satellite wireless AP operating?
Does the new TV "see" the Obri satellite wireless with the high signal level and "just" fails to connect - or does the TV not show it at all?
2.4G channel Auto (9)
5G Channel 36+40+44+48 (P)
TV will be able to find my wifi with full signal, but since it closer to the satellite, I assume it just trys to connect to the satellite.
unplug satellite, still full signal, and it will connect to main router instantly.
How far from the main router is the satellite? 30 ft is recommended. If its closer than that is causes issues with band steering/device steering.
If you make sure its far enough away, and then let it connect, running it for 48 hours and see if it dynamically switches. I've had mine take a couple days to stabilize. Not sure exactly why.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz
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:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
