Orbi 770 Not Stable in AP mode
Recently purchased a 770 Orbi System to try in place of an existing Nighthawk router (RAX50v2) to get more coverage. The Nighthawk was in AP mode with our existing Zyxel router. I set up the Orbi...
Decided to ultimately return for a full refund. because I was able to get a competitor mesh product working as expected in AP mode.
Hello FURRYe38,
I believe I have tried most of your suggestions:
To summarize:
- Swapped out cable from Orbi to Zyxel router with no change.
- Zyxel doesn't have any Radios. Previous router is Netgear Nighthawk which is currently back in place because it is working, but was off when testing with Orbi
- On latest firmware V10.5.20.10_2.2.51.
- I tried Dynamic and Static IP configurations with no success or change in behavior
- Laptops and Cell Phones are typically connected
- Square footage is roughly 7,000
- When connected the satellites are about 40 ft away from router, but currently disconnected since I can't get stability with just the router in place
- Tried Auto settings for 2.4 and 5 Ghz and some recommended channels with no change in behavior.
- Same behavior when disabling MAC address randomizers.
Thanks, but I am hoping for a miracle before this goes back. I think I have a couple more weeks before I will be forced to return.
Did the system come with V10.5.20.10 preloaded on it or did you update to this after you bought it?
