RBR750 repeatedly losing wifi connection
This looks like a common problem, not happy given how much i've paid... trying to decide whether to return as faulty. Firmware: v4.6.14.3 SSID: unique name. Same name across all bands. Loc...
Are the RBS ethernet connect to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between? If so, brand and model please.
Be sure to disable any WiFi Private IP Address features on the Apple devices while at home:
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Try setting 40Mhz only on the RBR.
Try changing CTS to 500 and see.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Hi thanks for replying 🙂
I did have a TP link 5 port gigabit unmanaged switch (TL-SG105S) in between one of the satellites... so i've removed this now. So both satellites are directly connected via Cat6.
Yes wifi private IP/mac is disabled on the iPhones...
Have made those changes you suggested... will let you know if it makes a difference.
House is about 1900sq ft.
Let us know how it goes.
- OK so I've made all those changes above... And it still disconnects when moving between routers...
For example... My daughter is on a Telegram video call with her granny in the garden (using the garage Orbi) and then moves into the house which should pick up the kitchen router... And the call drops out. The wifi connection drops and even turning wifi off and on again doesn't immediately resolve.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.
What devices it your daughter using? Brand and model please. Some wifi devices may not have good roaming features or design. If she is stationary near the remote RBS, does the connection maintain and keep connected there?
