RBR50 / RBS50 - Wifi connected devices losing connection
Hi all - First, here's my setup... I have an RBR50 and RBS50 Orbi system. I have a primary and guest network setup. I own a company that makes an IoT device that I have connected to my wifi set...
Just to confirm. All WiFi devices on both networks (primary and guest) lose internet at the same time, not just the IoT devices?
There seem to be a number of threads on the forum about losing internet on WiFi. I cannot recall if they all have something in common.
At least one member has reported 100+ devices on Orbi, so the device number may not be the issue.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it appears that all devices lose internet. It's a bit difficult to determine this for sure. My IoT devices have a "missed checkin" rule that fires after a few minutes from an "expected checkin". My other devices don't really have a way of indicating whether or not they're offline unless we're using them. That's why i was wondering about any event logs that could be pulled from the Orbi vs monitoring devices for dropouts.
10-4 on the # of devices. It didn't seem like that would be the issue, but I wasn't sure if there was something I was missing.
Please give feedback to the question presented and any of the suggestions that may have helped.
