Solid connection to constant drops on all channels
Using RBR20 and one Satellite - Firmware 2.5.1.16. Downloaded Netspot to look at why I was constantly getting drops. I initially thought it was my internet connection but it's my WiFi. I restarte...
So if you saw with with out the Orbi in the mix, I presume it was the changes you did and someting on the PC that seems fixed after you rebooted it.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy :smileywink:
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What 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 disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
