Wifi Connection Drops
Hi, I have recently setup my Mesh network in my home. Was impressed with the coverage. However, i noticed that i am experiencing often Wifi drops. Ive even noticed it on my google home hu...
Generally speaking Orbi systems are very easy to setup and configure, but you have to have a stable internet and front end equipment and cabling, as well as proper configuration. Try changing WIFI cannels as interference plays a big role in WIFI reliability.
With that said, are you connected to an ISP modem or router or your router? Have you changed out the cable used to connect to the modem/router? Did you reboot your primary ISP modem? If you purchased your Orbi used, and now I found out if from various purchasers, new ones can be returns, it would be good to factory reset the Orbi router and satellites before install. I myself recently purchased a new Orbi Voice and it was previously configured. I could not get it to pair with my Orbi router, until I hard reset it.
Initially my satelittes were connected via Wireless. Since my house is has LAN laid out in every room, i decided to connect it together via a switch which i guess might have been an issue as the router might not have had a stable reach to one of the sattelites.
I have checked my Router and Satellites and all are running on Firmware V2.5.1.16
I have just enabled beamforming, mu-mimo and fastroaming
Turn off fast roaming if you have issues with devices mjumping around.
