Known Issues:
- After updating the router firmware, clients can be steered to the router because the wireless readiness in the router is faster than the wireless readiness in the satellite. Connected clients might notice a slower throughput or a weaker signal as they are connected to the router when in fact they may be closer to the satellite Workaround: Disconnecting from the wireless network then re-connecting will force the wireless client to connect to the device (router or satellite) which is giving the stronger signal.
- Two bases in the same mesh network, such as the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 base (SXR80 router) with another Orbi Pro base (router), results in a configuration conflict on sync up. Workaround: Use only one SXR80 base in the network, and only use SXS80 satellites. Do not try to combine SXK80 WiFi 6 devices with Orbi/Orbi Pro products.
- In a topology with a single base and 5 satellites, the 5th satellite connection to the base won't be stable. Workaround: Use only 4 satellites. This will be fixed in an upcoming firmware release.
