    Converting RBR 960 (Router) to RBS 960 (Satellite)

    Ended up using the guide above and can confirm that I was able to convert a Orbi 960 router to a satellite

    Voxel Satellite says not connected, when it is.

    I did factory reset Router and Satellites to be safe.

    Converting RBR 960 (Router) to RBS 960 (Satellite)

    I saw this on Reddit for the 850's - wondering if anyone has tried with the 960's?? I saw some converted RBR960's on Ebay for sale so I am assuming it is possbile but haven't found any guides for this. Converting RBR 850 (Router) to RBS 850 (Satellite) My first Reddit post with hopefully...

    Voxel Satellite says not connected, when it is.

    I am not sure if I was actually dropping Internet connection or if it was connection to the specific satellite causing the drops. If I unplugged the satellite that was giving me problems issues would improve but I would have a giant dead zone in my house so I needed that satellite for coverage...

    Voxel Satellite says not connected, when it is.

    A good guide to setting up an Orbi system

    I disagree with this. Yes it's showing age but @Voxel firmware has put new life into my setup. I recently purchased 6E mesh and returned within 2 days. Unless you want to drop $500-$1000 I'd keep and test what you got

    A good guide to setting up an Orbi system

    I would stick with the Orbi system. I think of it's setup properly you should see stable connections and speeds. I believe the recommended distance between them should be 30'-50' and less than 30' can cause issues. Are you using Voxel's firmware? If not I would highly recommend it. I would...

    Small issue with converted RBR50v2

    I definitely think so. My home is roughly 5,000. I have the router on my main level then put a satellite in my basement, one on my top floor, and one in my garage for a total of 4 and seems about right for my coverage.

    Small issue with converted RBR50v2

    You may have too many satellites connected. Have you tried to reduce them as a trial? https://kb.netgear.com/000062035/How-many-satellites-can-you-add-to-an-Orbi-WiFi-System?article=000062035

    Sorry I have not used daisy chain for years because before I started using VOXEL I had the same issues with stock Orbi firmware.
