Replacing my 2 Airport Extreme APs & 1 Airport Express (one on each floor) The GND floor Airport Extreme was connected a SKY router. I relaced all the Airport fit with the Orbi router RBR50 and Sat RBS50 - set the Orbi router to AP Mode. I started to notice the network dropping, when I checked the logs on the SKY router its network port dropped the link - when I checked the log on Orbi the log was a new one. Also noticed when a new device is connected the wifi goes off-line. Any ideas why the network keeps dropping?

Hi Darren, I changed the wireless channel made no difference - the satellite is not dropping, its the wired connect between the Orbi base station and the router that's dropping. dubirl (Kieran)

I have the same issue, on both IOS and Android devices. Updated to the latest firmware doesn't seems to fix the problem. Still getting signal drop and reconnect every few minutes.

Hello lek310388 The latest firmware did not address those issues and our engineers are still working on the issue. DarrenM

Hello dubirl You could try to change the wireless channels and see if that stops the drops or you may want to re position the satellite unit. DarrenM

Hello dubirl Have you tried different cords and a different port on the SKY router? DarrenM
