Thanks for the response!

 

I have one satellite on each floor between the basement, main floor, and second floor on alternating corners of the house so they are at least 30 feet apart.  Right now 2.4GHz is set to Auto while 5GHz is set to 48.  I usually do not see any neighbor's WiFi networks, though they show up every once in a while but typically one if any.

 

I will try your suggestions, though I'm not certain what the implications are of some of these settings... ha!  


Got around to actually reading more of the thread.  So you have 1 router and 2 satellites in alternating corners per floor, but it COULD be that the signal from the router/satellites are strong enough to be confusing the devices (or themselves and passing the devices around amongst themselves).

 

Since the Orbi doesn't allow different network names, have you tried unplugging one of the satellites and placing them such that there is adequate signal between the devices and the router/remaining satellite (and of course between router and satellite) to see if the solves at least some of the drops?

 

Just a thought...

Well I gave it a few days before making any kind of declaration, but it would appear that the beta firmware has been a significant improvement.  I was able to re-enable AX on 2.4 and 5GHz and as far as I can tell no devices have exhibited the disconnect/reconnect behavior over the past 2-3 days.  Thanks @FURRYe38 for all your help!

Good to hear. Glad it's working better. Please post about your experineces in the beta forum as well. 

 

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. 
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
