Xbox and Orbi
I feel like a newbie posting this, but I am completely out of ideas and it's probably something stupid, so here I go. I have an RBR 50 wired to my cable modem (Hitron gigabit) which are located in...
Hitron CODA-4589. There is no "bridge mode" on the modem, but I do have IP Passthrough. I've tried it IP Passthrough ON (with the orbi in router mode) and OFF (with the orbi in AP mode). Both radios are OFF on the Hitron (2g and 5g).
Size of the home is about 2,400 sq ft. There's a basement, a 1st floor and a 2nd floor.
I have used "auto" as the channels at 2g and 5g. I will try different ones.
Beamforming and MIMO is on; WMM is ON for 5g on the orbi but not 2g.
I have not played with preamble. What does that do?
Thanks!
Basements are not good places for main host wifi routers. Can you get the RBR to the 1st floor?
WMM should be enabled for both radios.
Helps in getting wifi devices connected a bit sooner.
