The router loses connection to the internet
I have been dealing with this same issue for 2 weeks now and nothing has changed. My system will be connected to the internet on the "main" network and the "guest" network will lose internet connect...

Is the CAT cable UTP or STP cabling. STP cabling is recommended here.
30 feet distance between RBR and RBS is recommended as well.
- skooter25Dec 26, 2023Aspirant25/40GBase T cat8 2000MHz PIMF not sure what UTP or STP is. As for the 30 ft between, they are in the same place my last 2 generations of ORBI were without any issues.

STP is recommended for any connection rates beyond 1Gb. Especially for multi gig connections.
Look it up.
Doesn't tell us the distances between them. There are good reasons for these quesetions. Hard to help out if we don't get feedback.

Well, I "looked it up" shielded or unshielded. They are shielded. Still not sure what the distance has to do with anything, I can be wired to the main orbi and not have internet access. That has nothing to do with the 25ft from my main Orbi to the satellite (in a pretty open floor plan).
