No network for 30-60 seconds when roaming between orbi wifi6 mini satelites
I have four orbi wifi6 mini devices, setup as AP (not router) to have a good network coverage. It give the impression is works pretty well since my devices are never disconnected even when roamin...
Hi CrimOn,
Thx for taking time to help.
I can't say if it happens on Pc's since we use them without moving... đ
But it happens on all our smarphones. All Android, but Samsung (S21+, A53), Oneplus (Nord2), Huawei P30.
When not moving, the connection is stable at all location, no worry.
BR,

What happens if you put the livebox in passthrough mode and the orbi in router mode?
Or the livebox in router mode with the orbi's ip address in its dmz with the orbi in router mode?
Just seeing if somehow the livebox is causing issues
Good one: I wish I could use this livebox in passthrough mode, but this is not offered... I contacted the hotline when I received it and they confirm they do not want to make this feature available. Not comment...
I didn't think about enabling a DMZ and putting the Orbi as router in this DMZ. It is a bit tricky since I also use the livebox as a switch for other equipments. So I would need to install another switch for that test.
If no other idea pops up I may have to do that test, but I'd prefer to give a chance to other ideas 1st.
Its tough when using ISP supplied gateways as they have zero incentive to make sure they run properly or push updates.
Which is why we usually try different methods of dmz/ap mode/passthrough to see if its something with the ISP supplied device.
Its a bit of a PITA.
I actually would try that first as I've got a SXK30 set and they don't have any roaming periods on mine. But its going modem---->SXK without anything between the 2.
