Evening guys,
Having an issue with my Orbi Router (RBK43, which is RBR40 + 2xRBS20). Had it for a while and to be honest its working ok.
Just noticed tonight some internet problems and got looking. I suddenly see not one of the 30+ devices are connected on 5G...which I found strange. At least some get it on parts of the network. Primarily my laptop at least...
So I go checking and find that the actual Router is hardly broadcasting 5G, and literally sat next to it, the signal is under 30%, couple of metres away it goes to zero. (2G is fine).
The unit is in the principal location in the house, right in the middle in the most open space.
I checked the two satellites and they appear to be working as they should, 5G close with equal 90%+ signal strength.
So, does this mean the main device is damaged? It for sure worked fine when we put it in about 6 months ago.
Honestly, its not a huge issue, we're talking about the difference between 75M and 105M download speed, both of which are more than enough for its use....but I'm curious as to why it would happen. Again, I could always juggle the locations of the satellites and effectively remove the problem too.
Any insight anyone could give would be appreciated. Even just to know if its damaged and could be on its way out....
Thanks!
Steve
