The wifi connections on my orbi system keeps dropping
Every 4 to 5 minutes, my orbi RBR50 AC3000 system diconnects and connects the wifi on both the 2,4ghz and the 5 ghz band. I have the newest sw installed on the router and satelite. I bougth my orbi ...
I did the paperclip thing, total reset the router and the satelite, and reconfigured everything, i still got the same issue. Wifi disconnects and reconnect every 4 to 5 minuttes. I have changed the channels on both 2,4ghz and 5 ghz, i have deactivated beamforming, MU-MIMO and fast roaming.The only advanced features i use is portforwarding and i have activated dynamic DNS since im running a server at home, because my ISP wont give a static ip.
I forgot to mention when the Wifi drops, i stil got internet connection on my pc which is cabled.
I’ve seen something happen like that when the LAN side of the Orbi was using the same subnet address range as the host router. However logging into the management console would clear it up because the Orbi was able to detect the conflict. Symptom was same. Wireless devices wouldn’t connect reliably while wired seemed to work.
What can i do about it then, if this is a subnet thing? I have checked the logfiles when the wifi drops, cant see any error messages related to this error in the log files.
- The LAN side subnet can be changed in the Orbi, if that's in fact the problem. Difficult to see from here based on the information given on the upstream connection of ISP and this server mentioned . The simpler the topology, the easier to isolate the problem
I have tried to disconnect every unit using internett in my house, wired and wifi, one by one, until the very last one, the wifi still drops. So i'm guessing all the connected unites are not the cause for this. Right now i just have the computer(wired) and my phone on, but still the wifi drops like every 4 to 5 minuttes.
This is a difficult, i really dont know what to do with this problem, besides return the orbi system and get my money back while i still can.
