Orbi RBR 50 2.4 GHz connection issues
I have the Orbi RBR 50 with 2 RBS 50 satellites. I seem to be having issues with the 2.4 hz stability. When I look at the details on my app it just says connection Type 5Ghz. So I'm not even seein...

Yes it does appear successful and I can see the proper IP. Then when I turn it off and turn it back on, it still appears fine until I try to print.
Wow. I never turn my printer off.
What device is trying to print?
How is this device connected to the network?
Is the Canon printer driver installed on this device?
(See User Manual: https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-6621-zz-SSM-650-enUS/contents/devu-mobile-cone-accesspm.html#0703_h1_01 )
Like so many newer printers, this one also allows devices to print directly to it without using the home network by creating its own WiFi access point. I did not notice a method to disable this feature (but I did not read every page of the manual.)
Hi, I'm not sure I totally understand your question. I turn off my printer as this is for home use and I don't use it that often. So converving energy
I print from my computer that is running Windows 11. I print through my home Wifi. The Printer is set up thorugh Wifi. I hope that answers your question
Thanks. We're just lazy buggers. The printer is upstairs and we print from all over the house (laptops, tablets, etc.) Too lazy to climb the stairs and turn it on.
Aside from, "this is not supposed to happen", it is a puzzle where to focus: the printer or the network.
Does the Canon printer utility have a feature to print a test page?
(Tryiing to determine if it ever prints correctly, or if the problem is only when turned off and back on.)
My printer has an assigned IP address in the Orbi LAN setup table so that every time it turns on it gets the same IP address from the router. Does this Canon printer have an assigned IP address?
Yes it prints correctly. But it will lose the address. I don't have a specific assgiend IP address. I'/m using the DCHC (or something like that). HOw did you specifically assign an IP on the ORBI? I don't know how to do that. That may help. And how did you figure out what IP to assign as I assume it must be different than the normal one that seems to come up. I know how to do that on the printer. And when you say LAN? that doesn't mean hardwired right? that is the router?
Thanks again
