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...
donawalt: The performance difference with iPadOS 26.1 is remarkable! Only about 3 hours or so at this point, but the device performance is zippy, the Orbi app responds immediately, no delay in recognizing devices and no drops. I'll update tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome! Yes, keep us posted!
Another saga to relate today. Nothing seemed to be working this morning, but after some investigation it turned out to be only the satellites. Both were disconnected from the RBR, although the RBR wireless was working fine. My satellite troubleshooting efforts were thwarted by being unable to log into the router web interface. Turns out my Brother wireless printer decided it loved the IP address for the RBR (...1.1) and refused to relinquish it. I finally forced a different IP address into the printer. The satellites (two in total, one about 30 feet from the RBR, the other about 65-70 feet from the router and maybe 18 to 20 feet from the first router) would not reset with simple power off/on and sync attempts. A couple of factory resets and more syncs finally got the RBR and satellites singing in 3-part harmony. The system has been stable now for roughly 5 hours.
Stay tuned.
