What am I doing wrong? Had my Orbi 3mths and its always working perfectly. Great product.
I have 20+ devices spread over 5ghz, 2.4ghz & ethernet, but my Orbi 30 works great. It gives me full cover (70Mb+ internet) over my large 4 bedroom (solid) house. Unlike my old Asus ac68u, which coul...
Same here. I wonder if people who are having problems are from all over the world or in a few countries.
Most likely it is some combination of particular devices and/or network configuration that is triggering a bug in the Orbi. Those of us that don't have that unknonwn factor don't see the issues.
Maybe you should be asking what you are doing right lol! Particularly since moving to the UK is not an option for many of us :smileyhappy:
Anyway, just for clarity, it sounds like you are using only a single satellite? For others' benefit, could you please describe how/where you have the router and satellite located relative to the rooms with the most usage?
Your list of devices sounds very similar to mine, except I have in addition a couple of security cameras as well as 2 desktop PCs and multiple laptops. My system (originally single satellite) also worked great for the first 6 months or so, but unfortunately I have no idea what the tipping point was that seemingly "broke" it. Due to location, both the PCs had to connect to the satellite, and from what I remember, most the problems seemed to be with connection to that unit.
Yes I have the 1 satellite, in the upper corner of the house with the router in the opposite corner on the ground floor. I don't use ethernet haul back (rbk30), the system automatically moves the wireless devices between the bands & router/satellite.
If all the phones/tablets are being used on one transmitter it will move static devices to the 2.4ghz while the mobile devices fill up the 5ghz band & back again when they leave.
Hope this helps
