I’ve a 770 mesh system with router and one satellite. It’s V1 hardware running the latest (10.5.20.10) firmware. Repeated tests confirm that the satellite stops serving all connected clients (bo...
It’s just the satellite that drops clients. The router appears to work as expected when IOT / Guest networks are enabled.
Distance of RBS from RBR doesn’t seem to affect outcomes. Same problem occurs at separations of both 5m & 20m.
I’m guessing it’s a firmware bug - but would be interesting to know if anyone else is seeing this problem.
Just to update, I've reproduced this on my 770v1 series.
Feedback results given to NG. Hopefully they can get it fixed before next FW update. Not idea when that maybe.
For now, I recommend not using IoT and Guest Network until fix appears.
Please be patient.
Thanks very much FURRYe38 for taking the time / frustration to undertake the experiment / confirm the outcome :) Extremely helpful.
Hopefully corrected in the not-too-distant future.
