Orbi AP Mode Reboots when Router Reboots
I have my Orbi Router in AP mode with 2 Satellites hard wired back to the Orbi main unit. Now the Main Orbi is connected to one of my Non Nethgear routers ethernet points. Everything works fine a...
Well, the primary router is handling all nat/dhcp so its not that the orbi reboots, its that nothing is managing those so things when the primary router reboots so the connected devices will disconnect.
The Orbi does reset/reboot however. The status light shows this happening and the network SSID disappears for a few minutes until they reboot. This breaks the LAN connection and I don't see why it should happen.
do you have it wired primary router---->wan port on Orbi router----lan ports----->satellites?
Or how do you have it wired?
The primary Orbi is wired directly to my router and my satellite Orbi's are wired back to the primary Orbi.
Thanks
