Insecure WiFi on RBR850 when WPA2 used
Hello! Has anyone noticed that the Orbi creates an unencrypted WiFi network (as well as an encrypted one with the same name, and you only get to see the encrypted one on most phones)? My conf...
Lets troubleshoot this first before claiming nobody saw this. Mines working and I haven't seen this. One user did report this earlier this year and we believe it was fixed with a reset and setup.
Lets factory reset the RBR and RBS. Press the reset button on each for 15 secons then release. Complete the RBR setup wizard. I would not sync the RBS until after the setup wizard completes. Do this with a wired PC and web browser with the RBR.
After you get the RBR setup, take 1 RBS, while in same room as the RBR, and sync the RBS to the RBR by pressing the sync button on the back of the RBS first, then RBR. Or use the RBRs Add Satellite web feature.
Wait for the front to turn BLUE then give about 5 minutes. Check the RBS web page for WPA status. If you have a 2nd RBS, do same process to re-sync it.
How was the RBR and RBS updated? Automatically or manually download FW files?
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.
