I'm currently using the RRBR853 and sometimes random devices seem to drop connection to the Wifi and then you have to reboot them to work again, the Orbi is running in Router Mode and plugged directly into an Openreach Modem. I have tried limiting devices to 2.4ghz and 5ghz respectively but that doesn't fix it, I've also tried factory resetting and that didnt work?
What is the model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What CAT# lan cable are you using between the modem and RBR? CAT6 is recommended.
How many devices do you have all connected?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite📡
Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. 4 is not a primary channel to use.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Can do do something for us and take a look at the System Uptime on the routers IP address/debug.htm web page. Can you see if this has a long up time or does it seem to be short?
I bought a 2 pack before a 3 pack and half the house wasn't covered with a 2 pack as the walls are very old and just brick and concrete even with 3 I can't get coverage outside and I just tried 2 again and coverage was very bad
Yeah I know, at this point I'm tempted to wire the house up and Installing Unifi/Cisco stuff... But I'll let you know if it keeps doing it (I suspect it will)
It's done it a couple more times, seems better but still not stable and this morning my Wifi speed was limited to 40mbps (should be 900+) and smart TV's couldn't connect. Is there anything else software related I could try?
