Adding a RBS20 satellite to RBR40 Router + 2 RBS40 Sats
Hi, I've been having problems with my Orbi system since reworking the back of my house (well more problems, it's never been great). The groundfloor is about 750sqft with two further floors of 500...
I'm on firmware v2.5.1.16.
The boxes are propbably less than 30ft but if I try and move them further away they just don't pick up a connection. The RBS20 I added for example was on the same floor as the router and less than 30ft away but still only managed to get an orange connection (rather than green).
I've removed and the system is stable again. What I don't get is why adding this additional satellite creates system instability and actually makes the conection worse in the room I've added it to.
Has anyone else had issues adding 20s to 40 systems?
what version of the firmare is the satellites on?
Everything is on the same (latest) firmware, router, old sats and the new, unusable, RBS20
- have you tried factory resetting the unstable satellite?
Was the concrete in between the unstable satellite and other devices?Not tried factory reset, will give that a go.
It was brining own the whole network when I connected it, the camera behind the wall became more of a secondary concern when this problem arrived with the new satellite.
