Re: V1.3.0.12 - Outstanding Issues

after updating just make sure you re enable the beamforming and mimo on the advanced wireless page as they are disabled by default atm

Re: V1.3.0.12 - Outstanding Issues

So I switched the units out. The new unit had older firmware than previous unit. Anyway updated and after a day in the evening when I checked on of the satellite had lost connection or was missing from admin page. I am now thinking it might be the location is causing it to switch or something. But it never happened 1.3 firmware.

 

The location for this satellite is in the TV closet, it is a closed closet.

 

Do the satellites have to in the open or something?

 

Thanks,

Biju

Obviously, the more obstructions in the way of any wireless signal, the less signal strength you will have.  Depending on the type of construction (i.e. hollow walls/doors vs. solid wood, etc.), it could indeed made a significant difference.

I moved it to a different location. Hopefully it will stay connected. 

 

Question - do satellites disappear from admin if they can't connect to router and only way to bring them back is to reboot?

yes if the orbi sat drops it wont be shown in the attached device list , if the sat is dropping it maybe too far away or having issues with interference
