Very Expensive Orbi Rout RBR850 - several devices failing to connect
Had this product for about 18 months. Now finding devices failing to connect to the wifi on a regular basis. Unfortunately the paltry 90 days support has now expired - atrocious support from Netgear!...
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?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What devices do you have all connected?
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.
