Hi!

All iOs devices are updated and I've just added them to the address reservation.

The rest was already enabled.

Will give this a go and see what happens.

Thanks!

Have you used "Address Reservation" on the LAN setup page at orbilogin?

Enable Fast Roaming, Beamforming, and MU-Mimo.

Give these settings a chance as I believe that changing settings on the router is not immediate and needs time to register.

  Hi all!
  
  Tried all the suggestions and the problems remains the same.
  
  Did a new setup from scratch with all default settings and I have realized that the issue occurs only when the satellite is wired to the router. If the satellite connects to the router wirelessly the connection to all my iOs devices works perfectly. But I can't keep it as is because:
  
  - Connection between the satellite and the router is fair or poor, even if I try moving the satellite to other places on my 1st floor (lights either solid amber, magenta at times). The size of the house is not an issue, it's more the material used in the wall I guess.
  
  - Internet speed is below 6Mbps on my iMac if satellite is in the same room and dosen't receive any WiFi signal if the satellite is placed in another room.
  
  I obviously tried to change all the cables (other than the one which goes in a wall between ground and 1st floor) with no improvment..
  
  Any help greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks!

    Is there a LAN switch or patch panel between the router and this satellite or directly connected?
    
    Is Daisy Chain enabled or disabled? Recommend disabling Daisy Chain if you have a satellite that's wired to the router.
    
    Is Beamforming enabled?
    
    You can try the new FW:
    
    https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/New-NetGear-Orbi-RBR50-RBS50-Firmware-Version-2-3-0-32-now/m-p/1712445/highlight/true#M53629
    
    You have to update the satellite first, then when you update the RBR, load v212 first, then v32.
