Wired and Wireless Connection Drops Using Orbi (RBR50) in AP mode
Hey Guys, So I've been going over the forums and I'm having a tough time figuring out if the disconnect issues I'm seeing are due to my setup or my Orbi. Any assistance would be great. I've ...
PM Moderator DarrenM about joining the Beta FW program. The latest Beta has been working well in my 3rd day of test.
I've PM'd him 2 days ago with no response and a follow up about an hour ago too!
:(
Just a quick update:
Seems as though a static IP on the ORBI Router has helped stablize my wired connections which no longer disconnect like before. Unfortunately, I can't say the same to the satellite as I can't assign it a static IP which means the problem persists at a wireless level for any device attached to the satellite.
I've kept my transmit power at 50% for the 2.4 GHZ radio as I'm sure it has helped stop the jumping between satellite and router in my house even though the two devices are seperated by 2 floors (one is in basement, the other is on the top floor of the home).
Regardless, I'll keep tinkering and see if I can figure anything else out. For now, I believe I"ll be leaving the Nighthawk as my router and the Orbi in AP mode as the NIghthawk seems to give my wired connections a much better speed than the ORBI but the ORBI is major league destroying the NIghthawk on Wifi speed and range around the whole house!
I feel like we're finally through the rough patches and there's a light at the end of the tunnel!!
