Orbi RBS50 Satellite Problem

Hi,
Seems I have a problem when trying to reconnect my satielle to the router when I disconnect it.

It gives me slower speeds and the only way to resolve is to reboot the whole Orbi which can be a pain for the devices on the network.

I tried even using the sync button but when it connects. It slows the network down and requires the reboot.

Re: Orbi RBS50 Satellite Problem

FW up to date on both satelite and router? 

 

What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi 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.

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