RBR750 primary wireless not working
I have an RBR750 with 2 satellites (one wired backhaul, one wireless backhaul) and every month or so I need to do a complete reset of my router system. I notice that the primary network wireless will...
I have an RBR750 and 2x RBS750, firmware 4.6.8.5 in a 2600 square foot two story home. RBR and wired backhaul RBS on first floor, wireless backhaul RBS on 2nd floor.
There will be about 2-3 spots in the house where the connection constantly drops from iphones and wireless devices. I have over 60 devices, 50 of them all connect to the RBR and the rest of the 10 connect to the two satellites. The satellites are all well over 30 feet from the router. I've also tried to decrease the power to 50% transmission and still have the same issue.
The are with the wifi dropping is at corners furthest away from the router, with a RBS maybe 5 feet away. The devices do not connect to satellites even though the satellite is clearly closer.
What are the possible problems and solution to this? The devices do not seem to be evenly split between the router and 2 satellites. Also, I don't think "roaming" is that great on these devices either - seems like if I'm walking between a router and satellite the device drops like a cell phone call being dropped.
No, still have the two corners of the house where signals drop. This is where I placed my satellites but even though I'm sitting next to the satellite it will still try to connect back to the router 95% of the time. When the iphone connected to the RBR, the signal appears decent (500-700mbps on speedtests) but is not a stable connection it appears. I can't figure out why it won't just connect to the satellite even though I'm sitting next to it.
I'm not entirely sure it's due to poor wifi signal or DHCP having issues again. This has been happening before I setup a separate router for DHCP server. When the wifi symbol disappears on my iphone and becomes LTE, the iphone is still trying to establish a connection to the wifi and the IP address is again something random such as 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.
It's mostly up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too. We can't change that.
Have you disable AX mode on 2.4 and 5Ghz?
Is CTS at 2347?
What are the distances between the RBR and RBS currently?
Do you have the power at 25% on the RBR?
How many RBS do you have deployed currently?
