I just noticed some of my IoT devices were also being disconnected randomly because of my Satellite

Hello,

 

I just noticed some of my IoT devices were also being disconnected randomly because of my Satellite disabling its 2.4 GHz channel.

I followed your instructions and disabled the 20/40 MHz Coexistence. I'll update in some days whether it worked or not for me too!

Thanks for posting so I could find an answer to my issue 🙏🏻.

 

PS: I don't know about you guys but my Orbi Satellite is connected under Ethernet Backhaul. I don't remember experiencing such issues back when it was connected to the router via its 2.4 GHz proprietary channel. It might be related?

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    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.

    Is the RBS connected directly being the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between? 

    What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended. 

  • Any progress on this?
