Daisy-chained RBS750 always goes to "poor" backhaul status if "Connected Orbi" briefly loses power
I could not find my model in the dropdown selector. I have a RBR750 (let's call this R) with 4x satellites (RBS750) (let's call them A, B, C, D). Satellites A, B, and C connect directly to R. But D c...
R is near the center of the 2nd floor. It needs to be here (only coax drop) and it also seems like a very reasonable location for it.
C and D are on opposing corners of the 1st floor. These were the only locations that gives the whole house good coverage.
A is in the garage. Before adding it, the garage got very inconsistent coverage.
B is in the attic. Before adding it, the furnace smart hub got very inconsistent coverage.
Again, the configuration works completely fine. The distances are clearly ok for wireless signal transmission. The actual issue is with topology resolution after a single unit loses power. There is no other way to arrange this physical topology to meet all my constraints, and even if there was, achieving that would probably be a bigger PITA than my current workaround which is just to manually cycle the power on D when the hiccup happens. It would just be really nice if the system could do it for me. I'm skeptical about NG support, but I'll check if there is a path there to report the issue, thanks.
You might try lowering the transmit power on the RBR to see if this helps any. Try 50%.
