Orbi 960 Placement
I have the Orbi 960 and two Sats. My house is 3200 sq foot built in 1996 (all dry wall no concrete). I have had connectivity issues and speed issues for months. Recently, I decided to unplug both...
I know. I read that. I deleted my App and reinstalled it. So far I cant find an example but I am certain it was like this. I'll screen shot an example if I can find one. Some devices that are connected do not show link-speed now.
one thing to check was my home was built right around that same time and instead of using phone cable, they used cat5e for all the phone runs. It was cheaper to use at that time and if ran back to a central hub, can be switched over to ethernet jacks versus phone jacks. For under $100, I was able to convert my home to having ethernet in every room and hardwire in all my satellites. So much more reliable performance and I can even hardwire in tv's/roku's.
So it seems like option 1 -- reduce transmission power -- may be my best option.
Yes, they are all Roku TVs (TCL, ONN, etc).
(I might put one in my attic 🙂
The cat5e scenario is interesting.....I will have to check.
