Orbi RBR350 in AP mode - not always getting DHCP IP when roaming
Hi folks, I have a frequent issue with my Orbi setup in AP mode which is quite annoying. When roaming around with my device throughout the house, I often find that I get no connectivity, while th...
One of the reasons for “synchronising configuration” is that the satellite lost connection with the router.
So, I’m still suspecting that the issue is caused by a bad radio connection with the satellite.
Please try to test to get the nodes closer or remove some obstacles in between if applicable.
If you have the possibility to use Ethernet over powerline then I would suggest to test that as well, this will for sure be more stable than the wireless backhaul.

Thanks for the tip. I'll first do a test by powering off the 2nd floor satellite, and to make up for the lost coverage, put the system back to 100% TX power, because I think I can survive with that. I think this is a better test for isolating the issue than using a bad powerline adapter or finding a better backhaul spot.
After I've isolated the issue to the 2nd floor satellite this way I can start trying the other things. I will keep you posted.
