Have to constantly forget and rejoin network
Hi - I have an Orbi 6 RBR850 and two RBS850 satellites. All was working fine until I moved home (kept the same SSID / Password etc.). Now whenever I move a device in the house and it needs to switch ...
It's Virgin Media's hub 4 - brought the same modem with us when we moved
Running in bridge (modem only) mode?
Did you reset and reconfigure everything when you moved?
Just another user with time on their hands.
When a network "acts differently", it is often useful to know what changed?
- It is the same Orbi router and two satellites.
- The WiFi SSID/password remain the same.
- Is it the same ISP?
- Was a new setup performed, or were the router and satellites just "plugged in".
- Has the Orbi firmware been updated?
- Are any other devices behaving differently?
Everything the same except I wired the satellites as the house has ethernet cabling. I'll try as wireless and see if that helps.
Yes, but did you reset and setup the network to work with the new location?
Was a new setup performed, or were the router and satellites just "plugged in".
That is an important question. If you haven't done that already, reset and reconfigure the network and then change the SSID / Password to your preferred settings.
I'll try as wireless and see if that helps.
Wired should be better.

You mean factory reset the router and hub? No didn’t try that but will. Curious why it should make a difference though?
