Orbi 850 satellite low performance
I have an orbi RBS850 with one satellite. The satellite is about 60 feet from the router. Both the router and the satellite have the latest firmware updates. My issues is, if I connect to the sate...
What happens if you turn down the power on the RBR from 100% to 25%?
Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
1200 Sq ft maybe too small size of home for the RBR and a RBS.
I do not see a why to force the satellite to connect at 5Ghz
Need to get placement and distance in line for it to connect on 5Ghz. If there is signal blocking, noise or obstructions, then the RBS may not be able to connect on 5Ghz and is picking 2.4Ghz as it may see this as the better signal.
The connections are all automatic between the RBR and RBS. No forcing a connection is supported on Orbi systems.
