Modem: Centurylink | Actiontec C2000A (on transparent bridge)
Model: RBK40
Mode: Router
Home SqFt: 3500
Distance: Router in Basement and Satellite on Main floor. Distance would be about 20-25ft.
Channels: Auto. I checked thru wifi analytics app and the channels Orbi used and they NOT overloaded by neighbors' routers.
Security options: WPA2-PSK [AES]
Beamforming and MIMO: I tried these once before doing factory reset. But no change in issue.
