Orbi RBR50 + satellite iOS disconnection issue

I have a Orbi RBR50 router + satellite that keeps disconnecting iPhones. Fore some reasons IPads work fine. FW 2.4.5.17 iOS 12.4.1 on the phone and IPad. I’ve tried some setting for older FW read here on the forum but no change. Armor Sequrity has expired and not renewed so not in use. This is very annoying, does anyone have any ides what I can try? Thanks in advance.

Re: Orbi RBR50 + satellite iOS disconnection issue

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

 

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

 

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
