Hi I have just set up my RBK753 and all devices other than formuler Z8 will connect. I was online with Netgear for an hour + changing settings etc but no joy. I reset everything got all firmware’s up to date but still no joy. I then managed to connect z8 via Ethernet to a satellite and it worked... I then disconnected the Ethernet cable and it worked via Wifi connection to satellite... however I don’t want the satellite in that room amd when I turn off the satellite or move it then the z8 loses connection. In addition the and z8 is only 3/4 meters from router so I don’t know why it can’t connect via Wifi directly. Does Anyone know how to resolve and set the correct settings on Orbi or Z8 to remove these authentication issues. I don’t want to disable AX features and I use Wifi6 for phone and work PC.
Disabling of AX is temporary as a test to see if your device connect better. You can reenable it after testing with it disabled.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite
Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
