Orbi 852 optimal settings
Could anyone help me with optimal settings for the orbi 852? I’ve seen the article below but not sure if this applies to the newer models Thanks so much https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Most-St...
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
I like to use manual channels 1 and 40.
Optimal settings, optimal placement is what I'd look at more.
The orbi's do a pretty good job for performance. In my experience its more about trying different placements of the router/satellites to optimize coverage than it is about changing settings. I've found trying different locations can surprisingly have quite difference results due to objects in the walls, interference, distance, etc. So try multiple locations for a couple days. When I first got a mesh system, I moved them around once a week for quite a while just trying different configurations.
Yes it can help to make sure the wifi channels aren't on ones that have interference but that's pretty simple.
