RBR750 wifi drops all the time every 2 minutes or less
I am using 2 Orbi RBR750's with a total of 4 satellites, both of the RBR750s are used as access points connected to separate ports on my Firewalla. with separate IP ranges and isolated from each othe...
What's
the size of this home? Sq ft. Having too much wifi signal running can cause problems:
it is about 5500 sqft serving 2 living spaces
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.
they all are 20 to 30 feet apart depending on the obstacles in the way , but its the router that is disconnecting , so the satellite is not even in the picture
You also may need to turn down the power out put of the 2nd system to 25% and maybe set the 1st system to 50%.
they are running independent on separate channels
Guest Network would not be on or should be on a different FW version. AL RBR and RBS should be on same version FW level.
I wish I could but Netgear pulled V4.6.8.2 from their side (due to issues) prior to me installing the second network , and it specifically states not to downgrade from this version
Has anyone seen this problem before or has an idea on how to fix this ? No. I can run two Orbi systems. However channels, distances and transmit power need to be configured correctly.
I am almost certain that I configured it correctly , still the issue persists.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Its a firewalla Gold

Thanks. Yes that explains it. I have a pfSense firewall (your firewalla looks nice too) and use my single RBR850 in AP mode and use the guest SSID for IoT devices in the house. I have 2 RBS’s. You are correct that the guest SSID IPs don’t show up in the Router/FW and you can’t write rules for or manage that segment. The guest SSID is supposed to be separated from the regular wifi (and LAN) and, for me anyway, that’s all I need.
Did you turn OFF the regular SSID wifi in your 2nd RBR as well as turn OFF the guest SSID wifi in your 1st RBR?
Yeah I want control over what goes in and out of the network , even on the guest Wi-Fi,, I also need to have rules depending on who you are when you log into guest. so I can isolate that traffic.
I did turn off Guest SSID on the primary, what would turning OFF the regular SSID wifi in your 2nd RBR do >?
the second SSID has guest disabled the same as the primary and runs trough the FW on a segregated network outbound. So the second SSID broadcasts for Guest users to connect to only the internet ,,,,, (if) I move them out of Quarantine.
