My RBR750/RBS750 is having it's internet connection start and stop over and over
I am using an RBR750 router connected to three RBS750 satellites. I live in a home with chicken wire / plaster walls so signal doesn't travel well, which is why we have so many satellites. It's wor...
Just got off the phone with Netgear tech support and wanted to share what I learned in case any future people have this issue. They suggested one thing new and it actually appears to be working: use a hard wired connection for each of my satellites. Now I get that some people won't have this as an option but I actually do.
Recapping previous learnings, my system worked fine with just the router. It worked fine with the router and any one of the three satellites. But once I added the second or third satellite, it stopped working. So I tried adding the second and third satellites as wired and they worked. Now I'm going to try and add the first satellite back as wired and see if it remains stable.
So something strange is happening when I try to change the 5 GHz channel. By default, the interface at 192.168.1.1 shows it's on channel 48. When I look at it on my WiFi Analyzer app, it shows that it's on channel 42, which doesn't make any sense.
Looking through other posts, it sounds similar to this post: Orbi RBK852 - Selection of 5GHz channel 36 - Page 2 - NETGEAR Communities
No matter what channel I pick, it always shows that it's on channel 42, just like FarmerBob1 said. That post looks like it's a couple years old. Any idea on a resolution? I wonder if that's part of the problem.
And I reduced the power output to 50%. Will report back.
