Newbie ?s: Normal for Orbi RBS750 satellites to use 5G to its RB573 router and show poor status?
One of them show good to poor signals in the dining room. I do get a few packet losses from wifi devices to 192.168.1.1 router like my previous old Netgear R6300 v1 router with its Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX7000-100NAS; AC1900). Is this considered interferences and too far?
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂
Hmm, it must be the materials since there's a chimney, bathroom, mirror, cabinets, etc. However, I noticed the second satellite has good status but on the other side (same distance I think). I read Orbit can do daisey chain. I don't see it in my router's 192.168.1.1 web admin screens and RBK752_UM_EN.pdf manual? Does this model not have it? 😞

Yes. IF you have them place out in a line from the RBR, then the 1st RBS that you need to turn on is the RBS nearest the RBR, then turn on the 2nd RBS thats nearest the 1st RBS.

OK, I will try that later if needed. I just want these few packet losses to go away.

I haven't moved them yet since I was too tired. I did notice my speed tests were maxed out with my 200/20 cable speed even when far away from the router, but close to the two satellites. Compared to my old router and its extender, speed was way better. My pings to Orbit's 192.168.1.1 from a far away 2008 MacBook Pro showed:
--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 1641 packets transmitted, 1638 packets received, 0.2% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.409/28.079/666.236/55.607 ms

OK. I think I fixed the back haul's 5G poor status issue. I rebooted the router and moved the weak satellite a few inches closer to the router even though it is still blocked by a fireplace, walls, bathrooms, etc. We'll see if this really helps...

Yes, I too have a one RBS that shows as poor signal a lot of the time. I live in an old Victorian terrace with solid brick walls, which takes a hit on the signal, but TBH in real world use, this has not really affected anything, as the backhaul will happily reconfigure to 2.4GHz. Which whereas not blisteringly fast has proven stable.
