My Orbi was rock solid... and then about a month ago or so, it's started flaking out and I lose wifi connectivity on all devices 3-4 times a day. There's no pattern, and it only lasts for a minute or so--but as you can imagine, with the pandemic, I'm home and *need* connectivity. It is *not* an ISP issue; it does it with Comcast *and* AT&T (Yes, I have both, and yes, I have tested it with both. Both ISP connections are solid and it's not an issue with outside Internet connectivity--it's the Orbi dropping wifi.)
3 RBS850 Satellites Firmware Version: V3.2.17.12_1.4.14 Router located in basement, one satellite almost directly above it (5-7ft to south) on 2nd Floor. One satellite on main floor, 35-40ft from router. One satellite in garage (over 100ft away).
The satellite in the garage daisy chains to the one on the main floor. Unable to disable daisy chaining--that control seems to have been removed a couple of firmware updates ago.
When it's up and running, my speeds are *solid*
From my MPB: 3ms Latency 631.5 Mbps Down 587.5 Mbps Up
From the Orbi Directly: 2ms Latency 934.92 Mbps Down 940.48 Mbps Up
Here's what I've done so far:
- Set 2.4GHz to Channel 6 - Disabled 20/40Mhz Coexistence - Disabled WMM (for 2.4GHz) - Enabled WWM (for 5GHz) - CTS/RTS Threshhold 64 (for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz) - Preamble Auto (for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz - I tried short, and still had issues) - Transmit Power 100% - UPnP Disabled - IPv6 Disabled
Any suggestions?? Is there a way to disable daisy-chaining since they removed it from the UI?
