SRR60 - WiFi Connecting Behavior
Hi, Dear Netgear community here below an scenario describing strange behavior. We are using the SRR60 base with 5 SRS60 satellite, we choose those device for the WLAN Mesh and roaming purpose. ...
Welcome to the community! 🙂
I suggest you to update the firmware of both of your SRR60 and SRS60 to the latest version which is v2.7.2.102. This firmware fixes some WiFi settings are not synced to Satellite quickly as stated in the release notes.
You can download and read the release notes of the SRR60/SRS60 firmware v2.7.2.102 here. Be informed that if you will manually update the firmware, it is recommend that you always update the firmware on your SRS60 first, and then update the firmware of your SRR60.

Hello DaneA,
I started firmware update last week and I will complete update process on Orbi Base today.
After that, I'll will try again with the described scenario and I'll post the result there.
Wait and see.
Thank you DaneA for your help.

Hello,
We upgraded the Orbi system version to 2.7.2.102 but we didn't notice any improvment.
When we proceed to the initial scenario, the roaming don't work as expected.
I mean, when the laptop is connected to the WLAN, while we are roaming around the head quarter office, the computer do not connect to the best SSID signal.
Do you have any suggestion to help us ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
StephaneLO
This can be caused by the client (i.e. laptop) not switching to the strongest signal. It might be possible to increase the 'roaming aggressiveness' in the wifi adapter settings in Windows. Also make sure the laptop OS and it's drivers are updated.
