Some apps intermittently not connecting to RBR / RBS750
Configuration: RBR750 and RBS750 via ethernet backhaul; AP mode Firmware: V4.6.14.3 Since few weeks, some applications on my Android 13 phone intermittently don't work while on the Orbi WIFI, bu...
And you've tried with configurat with the RBS turned OFF for a while?
Something else to try, Try the Orbi system in router mode and the IP address that it gets from the host router put into the host routers DMZ.
Seems like there is something happening between the host router and the RBR causing problems.
Hi FURRYe38 ,
I’ve attempted the solution provided above; here is what I have:
- In the ISP modem interface: the only connected device shown is the RBR. The corresponding IP address is in the DMZ of the modem (still in DHCP, with an 8-day lease). But that IP address is actually the IP address of the internet port.
- In the ORBI web interface: The RBR is now in router mode and has an IP address ending with .1. All connected devices in the network are shown & managed there. I didn’t change any router settings.
- As far as I can see, I haven’t noticed a Wi-Fi connection drop-out / RBS turning solid purple since May 28th PM. I will keep an eye few more days.
Is that the targeted configuration in this solution?
If the solution proves to solve these Wi-Fi drop-outs, is that OK to put the 5 GHz signal back to 100% and keep 2.4 GHz at 50%? I would like my smart devices to use 5GHz & AX as much as possible; and only use 2.4 GHz on IoT devices.
Thanks a lot!
Good to hear.
Yes.
