Re: Outdoor Satellite

thanks - just curious what is the normal percentage level for the power output on the RBR?

Re: Outdoor Satellite

100% is the norm but some adjusting maybe needed.

Re: Outdoor Satellite

hi there

 

take a look at this.  This screen shot is from the Orbi App.  it shows the RBS750 which is located outdoors in a weather proof box dotted to RBS750 which is indoors.  the Orbi app shows that the connection is solid and green - yet when i log into the router, it shows the backhaul is poor.  Why?

Re: Outdoor Satellite

I presume the Orbi app may not be correctly showing same as what the RBR shows. I've really never held the app in confidence in this area. I see same on my Orbi system with the basement RBS showing poor when wireless to the RBR on 2nd level while orbi app shows green. I presume that Orbi app maybe just not include the poort status, and onlys shows it being Online or Off line or disconnected. 

 

If the RBS is working, I would not worry too much about the Orbi app.

Re: Outdoor Satellite

the RBS seems to be functioning fine - 

The app shows the green dot, the orbilogin shows the poor backhaul -  

the app shows a dotted connecton to the RBS that's indoors and closest to the RBS outdoors in the weather box.  is the dotted connection between the two satellites a result of daisy chain being on?

Re: Outdoor Satellite

Yes, that DC in action. Automatic too.

Re: Outdoor Satellite

then maybe likley reason why the orbilogin to the router shows poor backhaul but the app displays a green connection to the closest satellite.

Could be a reason...

Re: Outdoor Satellite

i logged into the RBS IP address and could not figure out if the RBS (outside) was listed as a  connected device.

Re: Outdoor Satellite

Not sure if it will appear on the host RBS connected device list...I presume it may.
