I have been having constant satellite drops over the last 6+ months. daily, sometimes hourly drops that required a hard rest of the satellites.
Here is what solved it for me.
- My old set up had the main router in the living room which was in the center of the house. The 2 satellites were on opposite ends of the house. I tried daisy chain off and on... (actually, I tried ALL the troubleshooting tech).
- I moved the main router to my bedroom, a satellite in the living room and a satellite in the far bedroom. I have daisy chain on. I have had GREAT performance over the last week... YES! A WHOLE WEEK... without 1 drop. I am amazed at how well it's working.
So the question is... does having the main router in the middle affect the overall performance? it did for me...how about you>>?
The reason I ask is because I wonder how many of the problems being experienced are due to the units being too close together.
Mine are about 60 feet apart, opposite corners, on different floors. The signal goes through various walls, plus a floor with steel beams and HVAC ducts. If I turn off the satellite, I still get adequate coverage for the entire living quarters, but not some of the outside areas I want covered.
It would be interesting to see what happens if you turn off your middle satellite unit.
