Found on the routers and RBS IP address/debug.htm web page for best details, please post both RBR and RBS uptime. Please note of any inconsistencies between the RBR and RBS. Generally the RBR and RBS uptime should be same. Home wide power brown outs should be noted if these are seen. Thank you.
RBR860 intermittent disconnects
I have had this Router plus 1 satellite since March 2023. It is connected to Hitron EN2251 modem from Spectrum. The router and modem are plugged directly into the wall plug. Both sit in the open and at least 4 feet from the ceiling. Up to June 2025 I have had ZERO problems with the router and then I started getting these random disconnects. The internet was up, not a problem with the service. These disconnects could be a few days apart or hours. I didn't record them unfortunately. Chat with Support on July 7th. Elevated to Level 2, after a long chat all he had me do was change the channel on both 2G/5G 11/36 respectively. I sent the Router logs but evidently, he didn't see any there. I recorded more disconnects on July 8th, July 17th and July 18th. Stopped recording dates, figured that wasn't the issue. End of July, beginning of August I changed the channel on the 5G band from 36 to 48. Seemed to run fine until August 26th (out), out again on September 7th and September 10th. I kept the logs from those 3 incidents. Today, September 11th I called Tech Support. The lady kept asking me how many times a day does it disconnect? Really? I don't sit by the router and watch it. I only record when I see the problem. End result, she had me perform a complete reboot of modem and router and told me to monitor the problem. I was monitoring the problem and that's why I called again on September 11th. Very frustrating call to say the least. So, has anyone else had this issue? What causes this problem? How did you fix it? Any insight will be appreciated. GregAdvice before purchase
I'm living in a timber farmhouse in a remote area that has no cell reception. I have a dual 4G dual antenna on the roof that points to a cell tower 5 miles away over the hills and is connected to a 4G modem (GL-X750 Spitz v2 CAT 60). The modem is robust and the speed of 15Mbs max is adequate for cell phone calls, internet browsing and streaming, but obviously not blazing. What I want to do is push the signal down to the garage, 16m (52ft) from the modem and out into the house paddock to 20m minimum (66ft). There are 2 timber walls between modem and garage and glass on the sides pointing to the paddock. I was looking at the RBK 852 and the RBK 625 2-packs for their range, not their speed, though I don't want to spend more than I need to. I gather I'd plug the Orbi base 'modem' into the ethernet port of the 4G modem then the single satellite would work off the signal from the Orbi modem, and they both push out a wifi signal I assume the 4G modem would work with an Orbi? My question is, what is the realist range of the signal from these devices, mine would be straight line through glass, so I can get cell over wi-fi reception outside of the house to a reasonable distance. I'm assuming the ones published are theoretical so I'm looking for real world ranges.RBS860 does not react
Dear Community, after I added another RBS860 to my RBR860 (router + 2 satellites) - which was itself quite a challenge as I had to reset all of the devices. Now the additional satellite doesn't react anymore. The power LED is continously orange. The RBS860 doesn't react to: remove power cable - reconnect power press reset button for 10 sec use 30/30/30 method Still no reaction...just a lonely constant orange light. Are the any other possibilities to reset the RBS? What else shall I do to get the RBS back into my network? Thanks a lot!Used Orbi 860 Connection
My friend gave me his Orbi 860 system since his internet company gave him one to work with. I tried to factory re-set the router and it keeps showing up with their old network name., How do I set this up for use in my home? Do I need to get his password and go into the app or is there a better way?
