RBK763S (AX5400). SSID reset required
Ever since purchasing my new RBK 763S, I have had an issue with a requirement to setup a new SSID after my Internet connectivity is dropped, or if we experience a power outage. If I do not change th...
Yes. I use 50% on mine. Seems to also help steer devices to RBS as well vs the RBR. Orbi systems are fairly powerful.
Current Software version is V6.3.1.0_1.1.41. Separation is ~20 ft to 1 Satellite (also through walls) and ~35 feet to the second Satellite (also through walls). About half of the devices are wired using Ethernet and Netgear switches. When fewer items are connected I was still having issues connecting my iPad with the previous SSID, changing my SSID was a solution one of the Netgear Tech support reps suggested after walking through the initial setup with me.

What CAT# lan cable are you using?
Sounds good I will try separating the 1 Satellite that is within 20 feet - to greater than 30 feet. My LAN cables are mostly CAT6, although some of the in wall lines are still CAT5e. The switches are: GS208 (1), GS205 (2), GS908 (1), GS308V3 (1).
Should I be looking at a different model of Orbi for my home? You implied that the 80+ devices were a bit too much for the RBK763S. Would the RBK850 series, or even the RBK950 series handle this quantity better - the total number of devices supported is a bit vague in the specs. One of the reasons I avoided the higher end models (in addition to the price difference ) is that with a 3100 sq foot house - these packages might overwhelm the size of the home and cause other issues.
