Orbi 852 optimal settings
Could anyone help me with optimal settings for the orbi 852? I’ve seen the article below but not sure if this applies to the newer models Thanks so much https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Most-St...
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
I like to use manual channels 1 and 40.
Brick walls are great at blocking wifi. Brick/concrete are one of the banes of devices using a wireless backhaul connection (connection between router/satellites).
If you read on the forums you'll find a bunch of posts about issues with people who have brick/concrete interior walls.
Mesh systems do work great but they still need a connection between the router/satellites to function properly or they will have stability/speed problems.
I take it you had issues before upgrading tot he Orbi 8 series?
Thanks for reply. Yes I had issues before upgrading from rbk50s. The 850 is better but not perfect. It’s not an issue between the satellite or router but from the router itself
