Orbi Satellites
I have an Orbi system with 2 Satellites. I have a question about the "Attached Devices" list as seen when logged into the Router as administrator. Each of my my satellites have unique names. So...
To see which RBS a device is connected too, log into the RBSs web page and review the connected clients on each RBS there.
Ah Ha.
Are you telling me there is a way to login directly to a sattellite to view connected devices in addition to logging into the router to see the connected devies?
If my undersanding is correc, tHow do I get to the login of each individual satellite?
Yes, Look for the IP address assigned to the RBS on the RBRs web page. Use this address and same RBR log in info on the RBS web page.
Thanks FURRY!
That helped.
I think i'm intermittently loosing connection to the satellite so the router gets dumb.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
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-routerWhat 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. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? Something to try if you haven't.
