I have the 770 with two satellites

I have the 770 with two satellites. Everything works fantastic easy connections. The problem that I have is we game with Quest headsets. We have constant drops and reconnects while gaming. Until recently when I disconnected the satellite in the living room and now have one satellite posted in an out building. Now we have no drops or disconnects. So I'm to Guess that the message system is working as is transferring the signal between satellites and that's what causes the drop. My next stage of testing is to move the router into the central location of the home and see if it covers all of my outdoor devices

    Possible maybe too much wifi signal saturation or over lap between the RBR and RBS in the home. If you turned OFF the one RBS in the home, and now its working well, points to this being the main cause.

     

    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 wired or wirelessly connected.
