When will you fix the issue with orbi rbr750 wifi dropping issues!!!
Seeing lots of posts about internet dropping with the most recent firmware I have a fttp (fibre to the premise) setup where the termination point is the “modem”. All you need to do is add a rout...
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.

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?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, SPC, Traffic Meter.
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
What Firmware version is currently loaded? V4.6.5.14

Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings I can’t select any of these as they are blanked out / not selectable"What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? 490" Is this in Feet or Meters?
So if you turn OFF both RBS, does the RBR have problems still?
Try Channels 1 and 40.
What channels are the neighbors using?
worked it out better overnight....its someware between 430-450 square mtrs (4800 sq feet roughly). if i turn off the satelites i get next to no coverage in my office upstairs
no idea about neibours channels as the are secured and i couldn't guess who is who. ive changed it to 1 and 40 as suggested.
