RBS850 Satellite dropping wifi connection 10-15 seconds multiple times per day
I bought an RBK853 set plus a separate RBS850 about 10 months ago for my ~10,000 sq ft house. the RBK853 is set up in the main house with the router connected to a Netgear CM2000 modem in bridge mode...
i have a Netgear Nighthawk CM2000 Cable Modem that i own. the Orbi RBR850 is connected to this. it is operating in Router mode. i have had this "bad" satellite connected to router with a CAT6 wire and i have also had it connected to a LAN switch and i have had it wireless in the last month and it gives me the same problem all 3 ways. I currently have one of the other RBS850's connected to a LAN switch and am not having any problems. the home is 9500-10000 ft. Auto, but 5Ghz is on 48 and 2.4Ghz is on 6. i have wifi neighbors, but they are pretty far away and they are the same i have had when i had no trouble prior to a month ago and also the same that i have right now with no trouble when this Satellite is unplugged and another is connected to LAN cable.
If you swap RBS locations with each other, does the problem follow the one RBS or remain at this one location?
Seems like if this one RBS is problematic, you may need to contact NG support and ask about RMA options. No FW updates would fix this...
