Orbi Wi-Fi Turning Off

Noticed over the past month that the Wi-fi from the orbi is momentarily switching off & on, all devices loose the signal then pick it up again, anyone else had this issue and if so how did you resolve it?

Nobody else reporting anything like this.

Any other wifi nieghbors near by? if so, how many?

Try changing to manual channel 1, 6 or 11.

What FW version are you using?

Distance between satellite(s) and router? Feet?

No new neighbors, carried out an RF survey(I’m a network engineer with access to some handy tools) no difference when the Chanels are changed and no interference showing yet all 18 devices lose connectivity for a short period of time, irrespective of whether they are connected to the main orbi or the satellite unit, pretty sure this is an issue with the main orbi

Re: Orbi Wi-Fi Turning Off

Has a full reboot of the system been performed.

Try disabling Daisy Chain, Mimo and Fast Roaming..

I would do as last resort, factory erase and set up from scratch...
