RBR850 Dropping WIFI Devices
Hi all,
I'm currently using the RRBR853 and sometimes random devices seem to drop connection to the Wifi and then you have to reboot them to work again, the Orbi is running in Router Mode and plugged directly into an Openreach Modem. I have tried limiting devices to 2.4ghz and 5ghz respectively but that doesn't fix it, I've also tried factory resetting and that didnt work?
Firmware: V4.6.8.5_2.1.9
2.4Ghz Channel: 4
5Ggz Channel: 44
AX: Enabled
Coexistence: Enabled
WMM: Enabled
CTS: 2347
Any help would be appricated
- Since then nothing has dropped off and now I’m rooms where I used to get 300/400 it’s now 600 so I have no idea what happened but thanks

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Can do do something for us and take a look at the System Uptime on the routers IP address/debug.htm web page. Can you see if this has a long up time or does it seem to be short?
I believe the Modem is a Huawei HG8310M but custom made for Openreach?
