Orbi Pro - SRR60, SRC60, RBS50Y problem
Hello, I have a wifi system in our store with a SRR60 Router, two SRC60 indoor satellites and one RBS50Y outdoor satellite. I am having problems with our ESP32 (arduino) devices that they kee...
Security is WPA2 same as on the wifi access points that do work,
already tried disabling sleep mode and set wifi to max power to try also on the ESP32
Only thing that fixes it is just not using the netgear wifi :( :(
I feel for your frustration :( The chain of events appears to be: SRR/ESP32 connected -> SRR de-auth ESP32 after 30~200 minutes due to inactivity -> ESP32 missed de-auth event and still think it is connected(You can confirm this by checking if any SRR/SRS lists ESP32 as connected client) -> ESP32 won't attempt to re-auth
Is it possible that you try to reduce SRR DHCP lease time to 50 minutes, let ESP32 run as DHCP client, this way, ESP32 would request DHCP renew every 25 minutes(half of lease time, if ESP32 does not renew at half of lease, you may need to further reduce SRR DHCP lease time until ESP32 generates some traffic within 30 minutes).
Hello,
It is not a lack of activity , the ESP32 is sending MQTT data every few seconds.
The problem also exists when the SRR is just in AP mode and the DHCP is handeled by another router,
the ESP32 stay's on the client list of the Router, but when it fails , it just "looks" everywhere that it is connected fine and should be working, BUT the ESP32 itself also thinks its connected but just shows IP as 0.0.0.0
I dont know "what" is happening, but at some point the Netgear hardware stops passing on data to and from the ESP32.
(also my other devices are kinda unstable on the netgear wifi, laptops sometimes need to connect again, chromecasts stop working and need a refresh, but there its not "that" bad since you see it happens and just reconnect, but the ESP32's need to be running 24/7
Gues ill just gona give up and put the extra AP's with the old routers in the spots where im using the ESP32's , just to bad since I gota double up on my wifi this way :(
