Wireless Devices connected to orbi but not connected to internet
Hi. Working with a CBK40 modem/router (v2.3.5.12), one RBS40 (v2.3.5.32) satellite and one RBS20 (V2.3.5.30) satellite. This system worked flawlessly for about two years. Last week I noticed a huge dr...
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply. Router is more than 30 feet away from each satellite.
Armor, Circle, Fast Roaming, and IPv6 were already disabled.
I disabled Daisy Chain and disabled 20/40Mhz coexistence. I set preamble from Auto to Short.
Rebooted router.
This setup resulted in both satelittes dropping from the network. The satellite on the second floor (RBS40) was able to reconnect. The satellite on the third floor (RBS20) reconnected but had poor backhaul connection and disconnected again.
Speed is terrible.
What happens if you update the RBS20s to 2.5.1.16 then factory reset the CBR and RBS and setup from scratch?
Move the RBS a bit closer to the RBR as well to test.
- No dice. I’ve resorted to disconnected the satellites and only running off the router. Something has killed the pulse of the satellites. My guess is firmware but I’m not sure which one.
