Bad connection to Orbi RBS850 satellite
Hello I bought an Orbit RBK853 (with RBR850 and RBS850) before Christmas 2019. I'm about to throw the device out and buy another product, because I have several problems so far and still no solution...

Any older CAT5 cabling, I would upgrade for sure. CAT6 is mimimum now days.
Glad the system is working now. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

thank you for the answer. I have now had the time to reinstall everything again. So far it looks like I have no more connection problems. But every now and then the network is still very weak 3Mbps instead of 500Mbps. I will now renew all my old Ethernt cables to Kat7 and hope to have a really good network :-) Thanks again!
