I believe the Modem is a Huawei HG8310M but custom made for Openreach?
I'm using Cat6a
Have about 40 devices connected but 10 or so are on Ethernet
2750sqft
Recomended distance between the 3
Changed 2.4Ghz to 6 and it did it on another device
No other wifi networks
It's been up for 4hrs

How many RBS do you have deployed?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
- charlie_snJul 28, 2022Aspirant
1 Router and 2 extenders
Unsure about the exact distance but its within the recomended

For the size of home you have you only need the RBR and 1 RBS deployed.
Would need to measure the distances between the RBR and RBS. Too close and this can cause problems.
I would turn OFF 1 RBS and see how things go.

I bought a 2 pack before a 3 pack and half the house wasn't covered with a 2 pack as the walls are very old and just brick and concrete even with 3 I can't get coverage outside and I just tried 2 again and coverage was very bad
