RBK Ethernet vs. Wireless Satellites
I have an Orbi RBK40 router, two RBS40 Satellites, and one RBS30 satellite in a 6500 square foot, three story house. I'm using the RBK40 as the actual router/modem for the network - I do not have or ...
Thanks for the response - I really appreciate it:
1. Firmware is up to date;
2. As I mentioned in the post, I have no modem - Frontier's signal comes right into their ODB, which then goes right to my Netgear 16 port switch, which then feeds the house. The run from the ODB is probably 100 linear feet, but if I had to put a switch in, it would be in the same location as the Orbi.
3. Good thoughts on taking it all apart, moving it to the same place, setting up the reservation, and moving it back. I'll try that tonight or this weekend. (P.S. By "reservation," I assume you mean assigning a forced IP address?)
Thanks!

cjaubert, your internet line goes straight into the switch, and then you connect each of the Orbis (main and satellites) to the switch directly? This might be the problem. Try connecting the feed line from Frontier's ODB directly to your Orbi router's WAN port, then connect the switch to the Orbi router through one of the LAN ports.
