1 DEVICE DOES NOT CONNECT RELIABLY TO RBR10/RBS10
Hello, I have an RBR10 (2.7.3.22) and one RBS10 in a two story home environment. They haven been working great and very reliably with all devices until recently. I have a MacBook Air (runni...
Thank you for your reply. Home is 1800 sq ft on two levels. The RBR is at the corner of one level and the RBS is at the opposite corner of the other level. I would guess they're about 40 feet apart.

Still noticing a problem with the MacBook and the RBR. Speeds on the MacBook are half compared to the iphone right next to it. And both are within 15 feet of the RBR. Any ideas?
Make sure the mac book is connected to the RBR and not the RBS.
Hi Furrye38,
Yes, both devices are connected to the RBR. It's very strange. All devices have high speeds and transition seamlessly from RBR to RBS, except for this one MacBook that is often searching...and when connected has less than half the speed.
Right now: MacBook: 115mbps down, 4mbps up;
iphone next to it: 485mbps down, 12up
