My solution was to move them about a foot apart and that seemed to work keeping the home phone connect from rebooting over again and again.this worked until I moved the satellite that room.

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
Continuously as in all the lights go off, it restarts by itself, and as soon as all the lights come on, it goes back off again? over and over? There is never a chance to connect to the internet?

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
and this happens constantly, over and over again?
Does the power light ever go "off"?

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
We need someone smarter than I am. I have never heard of a router being able to force the modem to turn off and on repeatedly.
Help?

Excellent. I got it packaged up to return tomorrow, but I think I will try this out before I do that . Thank you!

There should be at least 3 feet or more between the modem and any wifi router. They should never be in close proximity.

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
"Never" is such an absolute. My Orbi has been about one foot from two different modems for nearly three years and has never caused a problem. I would think that modem manufacturers should expect customers might place these items close together for convenience and shield the modem to prevent interference. "Good practice", absolutely. "never" seems a bit much.

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
Just because it works doesn't mean it's not doing something. Maybe however it's been good advise and good operationla standards in history not to have wifi devices too close to each other. Can cause problems. Users choice though.

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
Good to know. I'll give it one more try and see if it works. My Google WiFi router was exactly where I placed the Orbi and I never had issues. But I will see if I can put it into my network closet which is pretty much the middle of my house. I'll post again with the outcome later on tonight.

Re: RBK50 causing my CM1000 to power cycle
Might swap LAN cables between the modem and RBR as well. Good quality CAT6 is recommended.
