RBK50 satellite not stable

[anitachan99]

I placed and setup my satellite with LED Blue light on, after several hours of usage, my mobile device disconnected with wifi with message "cannot get IP address".  Same thing happened after I reboot both router and satellite, what's wrong with setup, any advice?

Thanks

Sounds good. 

AT some point you can enable Armor and Circle. There have been some resports that Circle has been causing problems. NG seems to be aware of this issue and is working on it. 

I would make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed. Then at some point, try enabling Armor or Circle and see how it goes. If you run into something after enabling those apps, You can factory reset and apply the backup confuration from file.

I applied your advice and it seems ok.  Let's monitor the performance for a longer period.

BTW, by applying this solution, does it mean that I cannot enable the Circle/Armor as you advised disable Circle/Armor?

Thanks .... Anita

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Please try a factory reset and setup from scratch with the RBR and RBS.
