Orbi satellite dropping connection
Right to the point: my Orbi system has 2 satellites and 1 main tower. The internet drops/slows down (to the point where internet browsing is not possible) 2-3 times per day randomly without warning o...
I have also been having disconnects of the Orbi router, which requires a manual power off then on to reconnect to the internet. I am currently using firmware V2.1.2.18. This version has helped reduced the disconnects. I have determined that only one device is causing my disconnects - a Harmony Hub. It doesn't happen every time but maybe once every 10 times accessed via of the harmony Hub remote on app on iPhone X. I have contacted Logitec about the issue, but have recieved no help from them. It seems there is an issue with the Harmony and mesh wifi, since the Hub is only available with 2.4 Ghz wifi.
WillBill Have you considered setting up a guest 2.4 ghz network and moving your harmony hub over to that as a test?
- I have not tried that, but didn’t think you could separate the 2.4 g and 5 g WiFi in the guest setup either. I have considered using the telnet instruction to separate all of the WiFi into 2 and 5 ghz, but was hoping Netgear would provide a user friendly option to separate them.
