My Orbi Satellite issues
Hardware Version CBR750 Orbi Firmware Version V4.6.5.8_2.0.54 CM Firmware Version V1.01.08 I The system is 5 months old, the last few weeks the satellite has been having is...
Hopefully with the changes and reducing the power some, should help.
What FW is loaded on the RBS?
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.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
FW: I believe V4.6.5.14
1600 sqft townhouse, 2 story, 41 ft distance between the router and satellite, both on second floor almost clear line of sight. drywall construction (cheap California)
Two close neighbors
Currently set to Auto and 48 on 5ghz
Updated Coexistence and CTS, preamble was set to auto
Will reboot later, family finishing work. I appreciate the guidance
1600 sq ft maybe a bit small for the CBR and RBS...
Lets see how it works with the changes. You might turn down the transmit power on the CBR to 50%.
Thanks, I would agree the satellite is a bit overkill -- working from and close to 30 devices, I wanted to be sure we were solid as far as our network
Hopefully with the changes and reducing the power some, should help.
