Devices only connecting to RBS753 and not the 2 x RBS. Wi-fi Dropping.
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions. I have the RBR753 (router + 2 satellites) NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (RBK753) - Router with 2 Satellite Extenders, Cov...
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. 16 feet is too close.
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Thank you for your feedback.
I spoke to netgear support and they said that at 16 feet it is ok because its wired. Do you think that is wrong?
I manual flashed the firmware and the devices started to connect to the satallites but they dont always connect to the closest.
I tried turing down the power to 50% and this didnt seem to change much.
Connections close to main router have never dropped.
Wi-fi still dropped when using iphone.
