Orbi RBK353 Keeps Re-Synching
Two weeks ago I got an Orbi 353 to replace a mesh system provided by my ISP. The router and the two satellites run V4.4.1.29 software. The router and one of the satellites are installed downsta...
Thanks for the feedback 🙏
The downstairs satellite is there to provide wired ports for appliances that do not support Wi-Fi.
I now moved it to about 18 feet away from the router.
Is there a way to lower power in a specific satellite?
Your suggestion to reduce power in the RBR - would it not affect its capability to reach upstairs?
Also - I see that power can be managed separately for 2.4 and 5 GHz. Do you suggest I reduce it for both?
Again - many thanks for your support
Regardless if your using the closer RBS for just wired connections, there is wifi still being broadcast and having too much wifi over lap between the RBR and RBS and devices can cause problems.
I would first turn OFF the closer RBS to ensure that the other remote RBS is syncing fully and doesn't continue to re-sync and blink all the time.
You can only change the power on the RBR which will cause the RBS to change there power levels as well. Can only be done on the RBR.
Yes reduce both.
- Will do. Thank you VERY much for all feedback
- Just fainted to follow up and say that since I moved the downstairs satellite further away from the router the connection to the upstairs satellites has switched from 2.4 to 5 GHz and it’s seems quite steady - have not seen any sync events yet.
Thank again 🙏- fainted = wanted (iPhone auto correct creativity)
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thank again 🙏- After one day of what I thought was stable performance we are back at re-synching 🙁
Since switching power to 50% I started seeing POOR in the upstairs backhaul status - never saw that before.
Powering off the downstairs satellite has not helped either.
The weirdest thing is that in default mode the satellites seem to provide great coverage (good bandwidth and GOOD backhaul status) - except for the recurring resynching when upstairs goes offline for a couple of minutes.
