SXR30 Long time to initially connect to WiFi network.
After browsing this forum I could only find one similar post, but they were going from: ISP Cable Modem/Router -> Orbi Router -> and having issues. (Double Routing) They then since but it in bridge ...
The observation that the wireless clients recognize a valid WiFi connection but the devices don't get a proper IP addressing assigned tells me the client appears to connect to a different device, like a Orbi Pro satellite which does not have a reliable connection to primary Orbi Pro handling the wireless (?) backhaul.
Forget about double NAT, DHCP, and the like.
How near (or how far out) is the SXS30 (the satellite) located to the SXR30 (the router)?
schumaku The satellite is fairly near the main tower, so yes, high probability of cross signals. I split them up lower level vs upper level of apartment.
Is there a way to separate signals? For example:
Main Router: Emits SSID of: 'WiFi Network 1'
Satellite: Emits SSID of: 'SAT Network 1'
instead of...
Main Router Emits Both SSID of: 'WiFi Network 1' and 'SAT Network 1'
Satellite Router Emits Both SSID of: 'WiFi Network 1' and 'SAT Network 1'
That would be ideal.
