Serious Satellite Connectivity Bug
This is not intermittent or difficult to reproduce. I consistently am unable to connect to devices on my Orbi network. I have seen this problem 15-20 times over about 2 weeks and I have power cycle...
My hard wired devices on the router can always connect to everything. My server seems to never lose connectivity to any cameras, which are connected to either satellite or wireless.
I'm on my MacBook Pro and I just pulled up the administration page for the Router, and both Satellites. What do you know...my laptop is connected to one satellite and I can see that on the Connected Devices tab. When I go to the other Satellite page, oddly the page does appear but the Connected Devices page hangs at the loading screen and never displays. So I'm seeing the same situation again and again.
I had disabled MU-MIMO and Beamforming this morning, but this problem just happened. So I have now re-enabled both of those but lowered the transmit power to 50%. The devices are rebooting right now and I hope they finish coming back online shortly so I can post this message.
I'll report back how this goes. It usually works right after reboot but starts losing backhaul connectivity after a few hours.
