Problem with massive devices
The point is that my network always is falling because the massive devices in my network. I thought that if I buy more orbi this will solve the problem but don't.
Always after 3 or 4 hours it loses connection totally or I have wifi but I can't navigate.
The point is, how do I manage to connect massive devices without loosing the connection or killing the network

Re: Problem with massive devices
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What devices do you have connected? Mfr and model#.
What happens if you turn off half of your devices...then graduate adding some at a time?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
