Occasional blue light on satellite
It looks like replying is turned off on the posts that mentioned similar issues, so please forgive me opening up a new posts.
I installed a few weeks ago and everything has been running great. ...
One floor down and one room over. It's typically not been a great room for wireless reception (again, why we bought the Orbi :)), but it's in a reasonably good corner. I would say total distance is probably 30 ft, but that's really quite a small distance when you come down to it if an Orbi pair is supposedly good to 4000 sq ft.
As far as neighbors, I'm in a technologically astute neighborhood with small lots, so there's a fair amount of wifi in the air, but it has not presented a huge issue for me.
The fact that I'm connected at 5g and getting what I would guess are reasonably good backhaul speeds I think would indicate that the connection is decent, thus wondering what other steps I can take.
Might try placement in different location to see if same thing still happens.
Might try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz, which ever one is used less by your nieghbors.
Might try a factory reset on the satellilte, and re-add it.
Thanks for the suggestions Furry, but I have a seemingly stable 5g connection, so I'm not going to start messing with that, or just do guessing things like moving it, esp given it happens every couple days and I can't stand over it looking at it.
Rather than just guessing at things, I'd like to go about this in a more organized troubleshooing manner, would be great if a Netgear person could jump in with some ideas and/or confirmation this is a bug.
I have got to imagine that given the randomness and the apparent no loss of coverage I have, there may be a ton of people out there either not noticing this, or not bothering to report. Would be good to hear from NG on this.
