WIFI dropping, hard wired PC still works - RBR50
Route will drop WIFI and satellites frequently - My PC attached via network cable has internet access - but both Orbi satellites and all wifi attached devices are dropped. this is happening 2-3 time...
I have had my RBK50 with one satellite for almost 2 years (3k sq ft house with 900sq ft basement). Almost no issues. I added a wall unit to get some better coverage upstairs for upstairs, 3 floors, including basement, router is in basement office with cable modem, 1st floor has a satellite and 2ndfloor has the wall plugin. Well, same thing as OP started, once a day wireless slows to a crawl later in the day (desktop is wired with zero issues so it cannot be a modem issue) then stops even though the satellites are green. Router then says offline, my 2 cameras go down (Logicircle 2 been connected for over 8 months+ no issues) and can only get it working with a reboot.
I buy a new one RBK50 and setup on Sunday. Set it up with the router in basement, satellite on 1st floor, wall unit plugged in on 2nd and the original satellite on the 2nd in a back bedroom.. All appears good then on Tuesday, it goes down. Reset and it goes down again yesterday. I then update firmware, and remove 2 satellites using the one that came with the new unit. I am on comcast and have a Netgear CM600 with 150mb speed. I setup one at a time. It is in Star Pattern but I think I have also tried daisy chain and that did not help. IPV6 was off and I just put it on last night. I do not have set channels for 2.4 or 5 just using auto for now. I do have neighbsors that are 100 feet away but I can see their networks.
I have not added any device except the wall plugin so maybe that was the cupirt but I did unplug that yesterday before it froze agian and stopped working. Maybe it a problem with the older satellite or having more than 1 sateliite? I have that unplugged now. It makes no sense to be honest. I really need tow satellites and if I cannt get thos working, its if to eero for me.
Help is appreciated.
