Hello! Need some help. I just hooked up the Orbi RBK853 and the router is so powerful that my devices do not switch to the satellites when closer to them. So, I’m getting great speeds closer to router and not bad, but slower speeds close to satellite, but they would be much faster if my device would switch to satellite. Is there any way to tinker with the settings to make it more likely my devices switch to the satellites instead of staying connected to router? I can’t place the satellites any further from satellites than they already are. Thank you.
Yes they can be placed farther out than 30 feet as well. 50-60 feet would be a good limit on distance depending upon building materials.
You can 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
