Orbi satellite disable 2.4g automatically

Hi all,

I have a set of orbi RBK353 in my house. Someday I found all my IOT with 2.4g equipment are connected to my main router instead of the nearest satellite. So some of my IOT equipment got weak signals. I followed some article int this forum to revise my 2.4g power from 100% to 50% and temporally worked in the moment.

 

But a few days later, again, I found all my 2.4g connected to my main router again. I chacked the console and it shows all my salellite connection were normal, but when I click my salellite IP into browser and check the status of my 2 salellite, I found the 2.4g  of my both salelite was disabled automatically based on unkonwn reason. The 2.4g enable option of my console was still checked. 

 

 

When I unplug and plug the power one of my satellite the 2.4g was recovered. But the other satellite without re-boot were still disabled 2.4g.

Does anyone have the same problem? How to solve it? Thanks!

  • Hello!

    Didn't set the 2.4G transmission below 100%?

    I also had this problem, but with this setting ok:

    what firmware is on the router and the satellites? 

    Did you try a simple factory reset on the satellites and re-synce?

      RBR350(router):V4.4.0.10_2.10.63

      RBS350(satellites):V4.4.0.10

       

      No, I have not trying a factory reset. Does it helpful? Maybe I can try this!

      By the way, all satellites are connected to router by ethernet cable.

      mllrgy: I am trying out this setting now, but is Hong Kong location really where you live, or just part of your proposed solution?

      I am trying to uncheck 20/40 MHz coexistence now. I can't revise my region, it's NA now.

        Update:

        Today is my 3rd day after unchecking the 20/40 Mhz coexistance(I only change this one).

        My 2.4g is still online! I will keep monitor if it's working normally and feedback to this thread.

        Thanks to everyone!

      I received an answer from NG support (but no new FW version):

       

      They advise to change the the 2.4 GHz channel (Basic- Wireless - Channel)

      And also change settings via Advanced - Advanced settings - Wireless settings:

      2.4GHz:

        - Uncheck the 20/40 Mhz coexistance

        - Preambule modus : Long

      5 GHz:

        - Preamble modus: Long

       

      I haven't tried out these settings yet because I did a factory reset on the router 2 days ago and reconfigured it from scratch (no back -up file)

      That immediately resolved my issue with the RTSP port forwarding (port 554). And also the 2.4 GHz network has not went down since.

      So I will keep everything as it is for the moment.

        Thanks for letting us know this. Glad you got it working.  Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
