Intel AC 3168 WiFi Adapter Intermittent connection to Orbi Network
Team, TL'DR: Two identical gaming Cyberpower gaming PCs (purchased this year) both of which are having intermittent connections issues to the Orbi network. They were rock-solid UNTIL Orbo was i...
Initial results seem positive! I'll post back in 24 hrs.
To satisfy my own curiosity, what exactly does toggling AX and extending the CTS/RTS threshold have to do with these specific network adaptors?
Some adapters may have some problems with AX mode or the CTS value that NG now seems to set as default, 64, on Orbi AX.
Sadly,
None of these adjustments have fixed the issues with the two PCs using the Intel AC 3168 WiFi Adapter.
It does appear that these issues are more releated to Fortnite than any other application? Could that be a useful piece of insight FURRYe38 ?

I'm surprised the Windows advanced driver option doesn't let you select only 5Ghz (as opposed to "prioritize 5Ghz"). I have no idea for "Roaming Aggressiveness" sounds like something you can experiment with too, i.e., try Lowest and then also try Highest.
Also, why do you have broadcast power reduced to 50%?
Does tis problem only occur when your playing Fortnite?

No. After carefully observing the two PCs in question, the network:
- sometimes will just disapper as a wifi network.
- Sometimes stay connected but show no internet
- sometimes connect at an extremely slow rate
It's exaserbating to say the least. Orbi support is recommending a "shock" reset (which I assume is intended to be Factory Reset).
I've even tried that in the past with no change.
