orbi satellites won't connecting to each other - ORBI RBR760
Hi all, I can't figure out to get my satellites to connect to each other. My router is downstairs. 1 satellite is on the first floor and 1 on the second floor. The orbi on the second floor wo...
How does the Orbi web interface Attached Devices display report the status of the two satellites?
(5G or 2.4G? "Good", "Fair", "Poor"?)
Sometimes moving the satellites around a bit improves the signal strength and changes how they connect.
Houses have so many things "hidden" inside the walls and ceilings that may interfere with the radio signals.
I would recommend powering off both satellites, then powering up the first and let it settle down before powering up the second.
It might be faster directly connected to the router then hopping through the satellite.
Just because its closer to the satellite doesn't mean it has a better connection or faster speeds.
The orbi's have some sort of internal test (that I have no idea how they determine) whether it connects to the router or satellites and isn't user changeable. The older generation devices you could disable daisy chain but you could never force it.
I lose speed when i direct connect to the router. I want 5ghz but it keeps on 2.4ghz. Even if I turned it off.
