Re: New Orbi Setup now no disconnects on iPad and other devices

I am having Wifi connection drop outs on my Galaxy S8+ Android phone. I have 1 Orbi router Ac3000 and 2 Ac3000 Satellites. 1 on each floor. satellite in basement. router on main floor and satellite on 2nd floor. I know this is over kill as my house is only about 1800 sq ft. But I needed the ethernet ports on each floor as I have a movie theater in basement and an extensive gaming setup on 2nd floor. Is my problem overlapping? Should I try and move my satellites farther away from my router? the new firmware removed that ability to turn down the wifi signal strength (25%,50%,75%) it has been replaced with threshold and some odd numbers. I love orbi and it was working amazing until I added my 2nd Satellite. which worked fine for 2 weeks and now I cant stay connected via my Android phone for more than 5 minutes. Please give me some suggestions. Ive tried turning beamforming off and mu-mimo and even disabling 2.4ghz band. still disconnects. is there a way to maintain the ethernet port capability of the satellites but turn off the wifi signal so I just use the router for my wifi signal and the satellites just for the ethernet connection? Thanks

My iPad was constantly disconnecting even on latest version until I deselected the wireless option enable 20/40 MHz coexistence.

 

since deselecting this not one drop
