Disable 5GHz
My printer only supports 2.4 GHz WiFi, but my Orbi system keeps steering it to 5 GHz. This causes the printer to go offline, fail to wake, and requires the Canon app to reconnect. My Orbi model does not show options to: split 2.4/5 GHz bands disable 5 GHz create a second main SSID force IoT devices to 2.4 GHz The only workaround I see is creating a Guest SSID and limiting it to 2.4 GHz. Before I do that, does my Orbi model have any hidden or advanced settings that allow: forcing a device to 2.4 GHz, disabling band steering, or creating a dedicated 2.4 GHz network for IoT devices? If not, is the 2.4 GHz Guest Network the recommended solution. Thank you.Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone and RBR50
With the most recent firmware loaded on the router and satellite I have the exact same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone and RBR50. I'm not sure precisely when it began, but it most likely followed one of the most recent phone upgrades. I'm not sure if any of the recent phone updates including ones for Bixby caused the problem. When I phoned Samsung, they advised me to reset the phone, reset the routers, and attempt all other available resets, including the Safe mode, but nothing worked. It must be something unique to because I don't experience any problems with wireless connections while using other wireless routers, such at work or when visiting friends.RBR50v2 Wifi issues
Hi All, I had a RBR20 with around 5 satellites but then I upgraded to RBR50, but it turned out to be RBR50v2 and post the upgrade my WiFi speeds dropped from 500+ mbps to around 250mbps max. The main router RBR50v2 was replaced by Netgear once just before the warranty expired but the issue is still the same on the replaced RBR50v2 router too. When connecting via the ethernet the speeds are 600+mbps but on wifi it barely crosses 250mbps up and less than 100mbps down. I am on the latest firmware and downgraded the firmware to v2.5.2.4 but the issues still persists. Anyone else have similar problems ?. Regards, Daniel .RBK50 (2018) now adding RBS50 which I believe is RBS50v2
The RBS50 I am adding is new - never used. However, I believe the firmware is quite old. Research is suggesting I need to update the firmware in two steps. The suggestion is that I get RBS50v2-v2.5.1.16 and RBSv2-2.7.5.6. I am trying to get them from Support. The current firmware on the sat is v2.0.1.4_1.0.06. Any help on locating v2 files and the upgrade process would be appreciated greatly. Thank you.Orbi Router RBR50
Hallo, ich nutze jetzt 6 Jahre eine Speedport Smart 1 mit dem Orbi RBR50. Läuft einwandfrei. Möchte jetzt von 100Mbit auf 250Mbit wechseln. Leider geht das nicht mit dem Smart 1. Werde einen neuen Router kaufen müssen. Meine Frage: Das W-Lan ist am Router aus. Der RBR50 macht anleine das W-Lan. Könnte ich das so bei einem neuen Router weiter nutzen, oder muss ich alles neu einrichten... Geräte und Passwort usw.Connexion périphérique sur satellite plus proche
Bonjour, je possède un RBR750 et 4 RBS750. Les périphériques ne se connectent pas forcement sur le satellite le plus proche, et ont de ce fait une connexion wifi très médiocre. Même en reboutant le périphérique, il se reconnectent systématiquement sur le même satellite. Existe-t-il un moyen pour obliger le périphérique à se connecter sur le satellite le plus proche ? Mes 4 satellites sont tous connectés au routeur en filaire. Merci.Deconnexion des satellites du routeur
Bonjour, Je possède un routeur RBR750 ainsi que 4 satellitesRBS 750. Un satellite RBS750 est connecté en filaire catégorie 6, et les 3 autres RBS750 sont connectés en wifi sur le RBR750. Les satellites connectés en Wifi se déconnectent parfois du RBR750, et se reconnectent en série l'un sur l'autre. Je me dis qu'en connectant tous les satellites en filaire sur le routeur, cela éviterait qu'ils se déconnectent. Mais le routeur RBR750 ne possède que 2 ports ethernet. Puis-je connecter un mini-switch sur un des deux ports ethernet du RBR750 afin de connecter mes 4 satellites dessus. Si oui, quel mini-switch me conseillez-vous ? Medrci.
