Over the past month approximately the disconnects have become increasingly frequent
My Orbi mesh system is 6 months old. After some initial setup pains, the system worked very well for 3-4 months. Over the past month approximately the disconnects have become increasingly frequent. A...
Thanks for the prompt reply, FURRYe38. The disconnects are all seen at the RBSs, but most of the device use occurs away from the RBR. I have not tried to determine if the disconnects occur in proximity to the RBR. IPv6 is enabled on the RBR. At any given time, there may be 4 or 5 devices connected including Windows desktop, Windows laptops, iPhones, iPads, Wiim network streamers and a Brother printer. (All devices are connecting well at this moment and the network has been stable for hours. Hmmm. Like when we were kids and our toothaches disappeared when Mom told us we were going to the dentist.)
I will add that the RBR is on the side of the house where the cable service connection enters the house. One RBS is on the same floor about 30 feet away and the second RBS is on a floor above about 20 feet above and to the side of the first. (The second RBS is probably 45 to 48 feet from the RBR.)
One more update. I connected directly to the RBR with Ethernet cable and pinged for about 10 minutes. Very solid. No drops.
Good to hear. Thank you for checking this.

Lets try turning OFF the 2nd RBS.
Any of these devices have WiFi7 features, like phones or pads?
What is the brand and model# of the wifi adapters with in the Windows desktop and laptops please.
Please disable IPv6 on the RBR for now.
