Disabling 802.11e APSD (WiFi power saving)
Hi all, I have received a new RBR750 with two satellites in our home. We have about 60 smart lights and led strips from lifx. They are being controlled via a local homeassistant server on the lan. ...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Orbi AX doesn't support this UI feature or is telnetting supported on Orbi AX.
WMM should be enabled as it helps with performance and speed over wifi.
The firmware version is 4.6.14.3. I have all three orbis, the router and 2 satellite's wired back to a small Netgear switch. The home is 2200sqft, the satellite's are about 30 feet apart.
Yeah it seems like an increasing number of blogs talk about iot devices not behaving well with wmm, this is definitely the case for these smart bulbs. So thankfully because they connect on 2.4ghz only, my other devices using 5ghz and wmm is enabled there, things work out well. I'm not sure if wmm can be tweaked so as not to disrupt iot devices like it seems to.
That's a pity there is no way to configure the power saving feature. It may have further increased stability.
