Intermittent connectivity/latency spikes/disconnects
Recently upgraded to a new mesh - orbi 972 - to replace an “aging” 850 series. I was excited to pump enhanced 6E around the home as well as the (on paper) stronger wireless backhaul setup. Sadly my ex...
This is the exact same issue I’ve reported a few times on this forum and I have an open ticket with NG (5+ months now with no resolution). I’d suggest reporting a ticket but don’t get your expectations up - I’ve not had a response on my ticket for over a month now and have provided a ridiculous amount of information, logs etc.
The system does “something” precisely every hour, I’ve tested this extensively. The time it occurs might change (if say you reboot or hw crashes which seems to be another issue right now), but it’s guaranteed like clockwork.
This seems to affect devices connected to the satellite only and not the main router (at least for me). I’ve also changed ISPs (and from DOCSIS 3.1 to full symmetric 2.5gb FTTP) and the issue persists. So this 100% is not an ISP/external internet connection issue, it’s a process or something happening on the mesh system and NG need to fix this. It also occurs when using only internal traffic and no internet.
