RBR350 triggering house alarm
I recently bought a RBR350 mesh system which it turns out is triggering my house alarm. If I turn off the RBR350s, no problem, with them on, it will trigger the alarm immediately up to within a few m...
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I've tried moving the router to a spot further away from any sensors, but it still affects the alarm.
I bought the system as Wi-Fi was poor in some of the rooms. These units seem to have much more range each than my previous router did so perhaps there is a way to turn down the signal strength? Any other suggestions?
Otherwise it seems I can choose between security and good Wi-Fi, but not both 😣
Thanks FURRYe38, I've made the changes to reduce the power output to 50% and will test it out.
My house is around 2000 sq ft and yes, I have the router and satellites about 30 ft apart. Ironically, even with the just the base station router on and both satellites off, the Wi-Fi coverage is significantly better than my previous router, so hopefully reducing the power output works.
