Wifi mesh RBS 350 satellite range suddenly reduced
Hello, I have a wifi Mesh router RBR350/RBS350 installed with a single satellite. The system has been running fine for at least 2 years. Suddenly the reception sone some devices in the 2.4 GHert...
Would be useful to hear more about these tests. Specifically interested in the signal level and "Link Level" at the location of the internet radio.
Yes, the default setting of the 2.4G WiFi channel is "auto", which means that the system periodically scans the available channels (1-11 in North America, 1-13 in other parts of the world) and chooses what it considers to be the least congested. The drop down menu allows the user to choose any available channel. I have always considered this to be a "no win" situation because if I perform channel analysis and set my system to a specific 2.4G channel, other nearby WiFi systems may be set to "auto" and react by changing their channel settings. How often am I willing to perform channel analysis and change channels?
