RBR750 WIFI Issue on IOS devices
Hi, I have the Orbi AX4200/RBR753, and seeking for help on how to resolve the wifi issue on IOS devices. Setup: 1 * router/RBR750 in Basement on the left side of the house 1 * satellite/RBS750...
Thanks, I thought about moving AP2 to somewhere else.....but but but, when I am moving around while the iperf testing is still running, i do see that I am always conneted to the closest AP by verifying on the router page, and I can tell that speed is going down when I am moving away, and coming back to full when i am at another AP.
Look, IF the issue is it does not roam to another AP, I get it, 2 AP are too close. but I cam roam fine from AP to AP... the issue is it stuck on connectivity when I am at AP2..... and and and, does not happen all the time, i tried again last night and the night before, man, I did not have issues, aka cannot reproduce.....
my full time job is NETWORK ENGINEER, but on enterprise products, not on consumer equipments like this....LOL, I dont have the backend access to find out the root cause.....
So when phone is connected at AP1, it works.
When phone is connected to AP2 it doesn't work all the time?
To check to see if AP2 is connected to AP1, open Orbi app and look at the Network Map, If AP2 is connected to AP 1, there will be a straight line from the RBR to AP1 to AP2. This means the AP2 is daisy chained to AP1. If AP2 is showing a line to the RBR, then AP2 is not daisy chained to AP1 and not connected to AP1.
5meters maybe too close between AP1 and AP2. try 15 meters.

Roaming, Ya, when in roam. Some devices may or may not "roam" well. When as you leave the stronger signal, the device may keep connected to the lower signal, even though a strong signal is near by.
Something I do for these devices, disable the wifi radio on the device. Move closer or near the AP2. Turn on the wifi radio on the device. The device should connect to the nearst AP now...
