How can I get devices to automatically connect to my Satellite, rather than the main router?
I have an Orbi RBR20 with main router and one satelite. It works very well but when I check the Orbi App, my music streamer is connected at 2.4Ghz to the main router rather then the Satelite which is...
Orbi's really do struggle when they're to close. There's mutliple people/situations on here who've had problems that were due to being to close together. not sure how/the best way for you to move them but I'd wager thats where your problems are coming from if they're only 15-20ft apart.
I’ll have to think how I could move them - but in fact in many ways they are working all right. The Orbis were installed to replace power line WiFi extenders and since then we haven’t had any of the signal problems/dropouts we had before. So, it’s more a question of whether we could do even better if we can move them.
Many thanks anyway.
