Orbi RBR 50v2 wont connect to new CM1200 modem
I upgraded my cable modem from CM600 to CM1200, registered it with the cable company and it is connected to the internet and works fine. I connected the ORBI router to the modem but it cannot connect ...
Thanks for your help. I unplugged the other devices from the CM1200 and reset the ORBI. It was able to connect to the internet, however i am still working ot connect the sattelites.
The LAN ports on the back of the CM are not for additonal devices. You can connect up a LAG supporting router to Ports 1 and 2 if you enable Link Aggregation on the CM1200. Ports 3 and 4 are for static assigned IP WAN addresses from an ISP. In most cases these will never be used.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
