Orbi RBR40/RBS40 (V2.1.4.16) mesh network drops connection to Apple iMac
I have an ongoing issue where my Orbi RBR40/RBS40 (firmware = 2.1.4.16) mesh network drops the connection to an Apple iMac on OSX v10.13.5. No issues like this previously with my old Apple Time Capsu...
The changes that apparently fixed my connection issue...
In orbilogin.com, Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.
In orbilogin.com, Advanced WAN Setup changed MTU Size(in bytes) to 1492.
Powered down the Orbi. Powered down the cable modem. Restarted both.
Yes, I have cables long enough to try that. I'd just have to walk over a lan cable across the living room for 5 or 6 days to see if things would be better, and I suspect they would. I'm trying chan 6 again, just for grins, so maybe after that test completes. Thx again for trying to help.
