RBR850 Occasionnaly Loss of Internet When Switching Floors
My cable provider is Xfinity and my internet comes through coax. My modem/router is a Netgear AC1600 which has the router mode turned off so it should only be acting as a modem. I bought the Netgear ...
I see you have Armor disabled.
Try setting manual channel 40 on 5Ghz...
The house is 2500 sq ft. I do have the 2.4GHz/5GHz set to a manaul channels that aren't being used around my area(I used the netgear wifi analytics app for this). My satellites are > 30 ft away from each other and the router.
- Armor is disabled since Day 1 of purchase
- Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only -- what does this do?
- Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes -- what does this do?
- Set CTS to 2347 -- what does this do?
Could you point me or give me a breaf explaination of what the above settings will do or point me to where I can read on these settings?
You might try setting the RBS a tad bit closer to see.
ALso maybe a client hardware issue as there maybe some lose at the client side when roaming and these devices don't re-connect well.

Thanks for those links. Definately learned something new.
I took a step back and powered off my satellites and only had my Orbi router online and walked around my house and took speed test measurements. I've found out that the Orbi satellite that was in the basement, which was located in my office, wasn't needed there as the speed test showed I had strong signal just from the router located on the first floor. I ended up moving it further away where there was a deaspot on the far side of the house.
So maybe my problem was that my router/satellite that was in the basement where too close to each other. Anyways, its hard to recreate the problem so I will have to see if that fixes the problem of devices that are usually downstairs and come upstairs lose internet connection.
Ya, one thing I've noticed with Orbi systems, there pretty powerful. Even for my 4000sq ft home, I can use just the RBR and 1 RBS alone and get great coverage. 1 RBS in the basement as well. I have two RBS online now however I have the RBRs power output set to 50%. Seems to work well with the two RBS online.
