Devices not switching between Orbi Router and Satellite
Hi all, Pretty much as described in the subject. My android phone, Sony Xperia XZ Premium with Android version 8.0.0, keeps dropping wifi connection when switching between the Orbi Router and Sat...
Does this still happen if you disable beamforming and MIMO or Fast Roaming?
Using any manual channels like 1, 6 ,or 11?
IF your windows laptop doesn't do this, this could a device issue and how they are handling roaming.
Yes the disconnecting still happens even after i disabled beamforming, MIMO and fast roaming, i.e. disabled everything.
The only manual channel is 5ghz (48) which i believe should be for backhaul.
I know my laptop didn't disconnect when switching as i logged onto VPN and checked orbilogin to verify that the laptop's connection changed. Confirmed that the VPN remained connected as my laptop changed from satellite to router and vice versa.
