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...
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.
Yes you’re right. For a sec I was thinking you used the guest SSID on the 2nd RBR. You’re using the primary wifi on both.
