RBRE960B compatibility with BGW320-500
Hi, I'm currently running an AT&T Fiber connection with a BGW320-500 modem/router combo unit. First week of March I picked up an Orbi RBRE960B and swapped out my old Netgear Nighthawk for it. I i...
I've disable 6ghz wifi per your earlier post and now the BGW320 came right up. Solid white. SMH.
Sorry to hear that. But it makes me feel a bit better that it's not just me seeing this behavior.
To be honest, after struggling with it off and on for a couple months, once I found disabling the 6ghz resolved any issue... I've just left it that way and stopped putting time and energy into it. My mobile phone is my only wifi 6 device currently anyway. Haven't done any additional follow up troubleshooting at all. No issues in almost two months now with the 6ghz disabled. Tremendous waste of money though using this router without the 6g band.
I started to post on the AT&T forum about the modem, since that seems to be where the problem is. But never went back and actually posted anything after signing up. Would love to hear the results if you get any further with it. I'm not sure I care enough to keep troubleshooting at this point. Started back in like early February.
It really seems like just changing ISP and getting a third party modem would be a functional fix. But I don't have any alternate ISP options here that wouldn't make it pointless to have wifi 6 anyway.
