Constant intermittent connection - specifically with the PS5.

Hi, just upgraded from Nighthawk to Orbi.   Nighthawk system with extender was ok but it kept resetting to old password and couldn’t ever work out why.   New system was set up and for a few days ...

    Have you tried disabling Netgear Armor? I had to disable it with my 970 as Armor was seeing some devices as a threat and not allowing a connection. The PS5 was one of the devices it would happen with, but now with Armor disabled, it will stay connected all day long.

JJG1992​ FURRYe38​ Hello guys! Just come back from a short break.

 

The MAIN issue was the Amour protection - after turning this off 99% perfect. I moved the units and also used a main power socket rather than a extension. The BQM showed a pretty good picture also. The boys made zero complaints about the ps5 also.

 

Thanks so much guys - a simple fix in the end but i also managed to look at a number of things and open my eyes!
