Re: Orbi satellite stuck on solid blue

It is now connected to both and the blue light is off, having reset it earlier.  I will keep an eye on this to see if that is the cause.  thanks.  Another issue for a different thread perhaps is with wifi printers that now seem to take a long time to process a print request or lose connection with computer.  Any thoughts on this topic?

Re: Orbi satellite stuck on solid blue

Whats the distance between the router and Satellites? 30 feet minimum to begin with.

Mines 40 feet in between in a 5000sq ft home.

Whats the size if your home?

Yea next time Its blue just check the Sat Status, sounds like one or the other bands doesn't have anything connected at that time.

 

I seen this on an earlier build where both my wireless printers acted that way. However on the latest build I have not had any issues. Both of my Printers are HP one a OfficeJet and the other a LaserJet
