Orbi 850 main network connection issue
I can see both the main and guest ssid when I tried to search for wifi connection. when I tried to connect to the main network, it connects for 1 to 2 seconds and the drops out. connection to guest...
Firmware is 7.2.7.15
My current set up is: NBN - TPLink Archer router - Orbi 850.
The TPLink has not connection issues.
There are about 70 Devices connected to the Orbi Router. A mixture of IOTs(On separate SSID), a couple of Apple and android devices.
only 1 RBS
house is 2 storey with a total of about 3000 sq foot
these are already disbled
Armor, IPv6, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.
i dont think it has to do with the channel.. Im thinking more about the mac address that you’ve mentioned.
All devices that connects to the main network lost connection. Or cannot connect. All devices using the guest SSID (different subnet) works fine
I think when the mac address change it somehow creates a conflict causing the router to reject connections to the main network.
See what happens if you disable Mac Address randomizers on those devices that have this feature.
