RBR750 dropping WiFi connections every 10s in AP mode
[Originally posted in Orbi, cross posting as suggested there] Starting this morning, my RBR750 has been dropping WiFi connections every 10s. I factory reset it and everything was fine until I pu...
The router is getting a (fixed) IP via DHCP from the Firewalla.
Wireless channel info is:
Region Europe
2.4G Channel Auto (9)
2.4G Wireless mode: Up to 573.5 Mbps
5G Channel 36 + 40(P) + 44 + 48
5G Wireless mode: Up to 1201 Mbps
We're in an area of low congestion. The key thing, for me, is that this configuration worked for half a year with no problems until today, and also switching to Router mode without changing anything else gives a solid connection, and the problem resurfaces when I switch back to AP mode. At the same time a wired connection to the Firewalla is not dropping, so I'm certain that it's the WiFi, not the uplink.
I didn't do a manual FW update, so I'm presuming that it autoupdated. It's a guess though, because I don't have any logs that would confirm.
don't know if it's possible to downgrade, but if it is, I'd be happy to try that to test if it is a firmware issue.
I would download the FW FIles for the RBR and RBS. Use a wired PC and web browser and send the FW to the RBS first then RBR lastly.
Factory reset each and setup from scratch.
Try using channels 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 48 on 5Ghz.
I would Leave off the RBS after there reset and check check to see if the RBR is stable after it's set up after the reset. If stable, then re-add the RBS.
