The PAIN with Orib AX (RBK853)
Regardless of what anybody says, there is something really WRONG with Orbi AX. I just got my entire RBK853 system RMA'd and I'm in the same boat with the system being entirely unstable. What I s...
I tried, 2347 and default 64 including sort preamble. I already mentioned trying numerous distances and just router and router with one and two satellites. Same no matter what I try?
What about leaving the CTS/RTS at 64, then trying the 2347. But turning off the 2.4 & 5GHz Co-Existence, leaving the AX setting on also. Below is where I landed after a lot of trial and drops. Have been crusin' nicely for 15 days since the last reboot to change a setting that wipes the Uptime Counter. So a good 20-30 days.
Now I'm running:
Advanced Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n/ax)
Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence: OFF
Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings (2.4GHz b/g/n/ax): ON (but this is a setting that can be tried)
CTS/RTS Threshold (1-2347): 2347 (although I'm in a noisy area of technotards)
Preamble Mode: Short
Transmit Power Control: 100%
Advanced Wireless Settings (5GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax)
Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings (5GHz a/n/ac/ax): ON
CTS/RTS Threshold (1-2347): 2347 (although I'm in a noisy area of technotards)
Preamble Mode: Short
Transmit Power Control: 100%
On the WiFi Setup page earlier on:
Enable AX - This WiFi mode will enable AX features: ON (this is another setting that can be played with)
Food for thought. I hope this helps.
