WiFi dropping every day. Only reboot helps
Hi all, I do have a problem with my RBR850. Since a few days it is constantly dropping WiFi: on the router everything is OK - no issues but no device can connect getting stuck at "getting IP addr...
The RBS850s are not connecting?
nope.
Not connecting, ....sometimes connecting after a few hours, sometimes connecting after the satellites are rebooted, sometimes after the router is rebooted, ...
Today for instance got connected once the router started up…. But I do not have a clue why the router got restarted in the first place (the same was yesterday)! Real need to replace this Orbi by something more stable - any suggestions?
Need to turn OFF the RBS350s.
How are the RBS ethernet connected to the RBR? Directly behind the RBR? Or is there a LAN patch panel or LAN Switch in between them?
everything is thru a patch panels - cables and patchpanels are in Cat 6A (one is via ptachcord Cat 6)...
3 RBSes are connected by patch panels directly to the RBR and one is via switch (Cat 5e - but this is the one with Cat 6 patch cord).
Lets disconnect the patch panel cabling from the back of the RBR that leads to the RBS350s. Turn them off.
Then lets reboot the RBR. I'd power OFF the remaining RBS850s for 30 seconds then back ON. Lets see if these get reconnected.
