New RBK753S - Stability / wifi connection reliability issues every other day so far? (fw V3.2.16.22)
I recently upgraded to the Orbi AX / Wifi 6 RBK753S (from the AC3000 RBK53). I never had any real issues with my RBK53, but since my ISP plan speed just went up again, I wanted to maximize throughput...
Something to try out, Disable AX mode on the RBR. Just the 5Ghz radio or both. Up to you.
Also set CTS values to 2347. Then retest the killer adapter.
Then maybe re-enabled AX both and re-test for consistency.
Well since you have new FW loaded, try factory reset maybe needed as well.
Was this happening prior to the FW update?

Nothing changed in my setup in terms of positioning of router/satelites, settings etc. Already upgraded the RBK852 firmware to latest version with no improvement. Seems to be hardware issue, maybe with antenna's?
Thanks for your swift response. Yes, this happed prior to the FW update also and I've (factory) reset but unfortunately still have this issue. It actually seems to be getting worse with this afternoon a complete drop of (wired!) connection.
Mine has been stable all day today, knock on wood. (Have not run any speed tests today or, better yet, any downloads to confirm speeds, but no disconnects).
Been using one app for a while today since it reports any disconnects; so far so good...
Will keep monitoring it for the rest of the day and weekend.
Keep us posted.

Interested to learn which app you are using to monitor this. Can you share the name of the app?

App was the wrong choice of words (was in a hurry and thinking about several things when I wrote it).
I mean I picked a random online game and had it running for a while so it would alert me of any disconnect (even short-lived)...
