Orbi loosing Internet Connection on iPhone
Hi,
Since I've purchased my Orbi RBK50 Router and Satelite I'm facing this issue.
I constantly lose my internet connection on my iPhone and iPad. iMac and other devices connected to my WiFi shows...

What are your experiences wtih Fast Roaming enabled and disabled.
This maybe an issue with the iOS on the phone not handling the transitions between router and satellite signals when your roaming with the phone.
Hi,
Tried disabling Fast Roaming but since my iMac does not support WiFi 802.11r that's not a option neither since it keeps on disconnecting from the WiFi network..
iMac would not be supporting of Fast Roaming as it's not a mobile device.
Do you mean 802.11k? Thats the Roaming protocol.
Try this?
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.

Hi!
iMac supports 802.11 a/b/g/n but I never had issue with it's connection.
I've changed the CTS/RTS to 2307 with a long preamble. How do I set the 20/40 Coexistance to 40Mhz only? Just by disabling it?
Will adivse if those steps improve things.
Thanks?

Yes, just un-check the box next to 20/40Mhz and it will set 40Mhz only.

Did all the suggestions everybody mentionned and all my iOs devices still loose/takes extremely long when roaming between satellite and router..
Any other tips or help?
Thanks!

I think the issue is that you do not have enough overlapping between the router and the satellite which will result in issues while roaming.
Your options is either to get the router and satellite closer, or if not possible add a small satellite (say RBW30) in between.
We can prove this theory by temporaily disabling one of the bands (the 5 GHz) and test, but -as you mentioned earlier- this might be too technical.
