FOSCAM FI9900P can't connect wifi to RBK40
Hi Guys
It is my first time with Orbi. Originally my wifi network was namaged by TP-Link Archer C60, so I have decided replace by Netgear.
Anyway, some issues happen when I try to connect...

Yes... some progress but not good.
I have applied changes of configuration such us WIFI 2.4GHZ channels to 1, 6 or 11 and desabling MIMO, Fast Roaming, IPv6, etc.
Now, the camera can connect to Orbi, but in erratic way. Lost package.
My concern is about what portion of Orbi are providing access to get IP. Around 26 ft I have a Satellite, but the connection try to do to Ordi Router (40ft behind).
Honestly, it is my first experience with Orbi, so my apologize to do some simple questions.
Nice day to everybody

You can try this,
Set the IP address pool size on the router to 192.168.1.100 to .200. Then set a static IP address on the camera to 192.168.1.90.

Hi
My DHCP pool size has been defined from 192.168.1.20 to 254. The range between 192.168.1.2 to 10 are free to use with statics IPs. The camera has 192.168.1.3 (static)
Anyway, do you suggest change the pool size according your previous commnent ?
In other hand, I will trying to get any information from FOSCAM support. Maybe a new version of firmware could be available.
Thanks.

Ok, I wasn't sure you had a custome pools size or not so reason why I mentiond it. If you have the camera at a static and it's outside of the pool, then you should ok.
Let us know if you find anything out from FOSCAM...

Hi Guys
After a few conversations with FOSCAM support, they are suspecting about WIFI antena of Camera. It could be broken and the power of signal goes down.
To solve now, I have connected the camera with UTP, until get a new antena to replace and retry connect to WIFI.
If you like, I could close the post as SOLVED.
Many thanks to everybody
