Orbi Satellite RBR850 doesnt connect
I facing a big problem, i have installed 1 Orbi router and 5 satellite RBR850 in an 3 storey house, and placed the devices floor wise ( some in rooms couple of them in bedroom and living rooms) at sp...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 📡
Firmware Version :- V4.6.3.16
ONT :- local vendor fiber connection connects to Orbi router
Size of Room is 8000 sq feet approx (3 floors)
Distance more than 30 feet but i have connected some device via LAN cable as well.
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
So you have RBS that are wireless connected and some wire connected?
Are the ethernet connected RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a patch panel or LAN switch in between the RBR and RBS? If there is a switch, brand and model# please.
What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?What CTS values are you using on the RBR? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
You may also have too much wifi signal in the home. 1 RBR and two RBS are rated up to 7500sq ft so 3 RBS should be enough for 8000sq ft. I would turn off two of the RBS and test the system and devices. https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4
I have changed power output to 50%
So you have RBS that are wireless connected and some wire connected? Yes
Ethernet are connected RBS via Cisco unmanged switch which is between the RBR and RBS?
Yes i am using CAT6
I am using 48 on 5Ghz. and 6 on 2.4Ghz.
There are 2-3 wifi neigbhors with very very weak signal
CTS values is kept on automatic
Will try to keep off couple of devices.
Sharing a snapshot of devices.
