Alternating Blue and Amber light
About one week ago RBS50 satellites started to blink LEDs alternating blue and amber slowly. No changes had been made. firmware was V2.0.0.74. Performance degraded and became spotty. 2 Satellites are...
The lights indicate you have poor and varying signal strength between the satellites and router. Brick attenuates WiFi sginals a lot, especially 5 GHz, which is used by the backhaul.
You should try moving the satellites closer to the router.
You could also try enabling "daisy chain" mode and moving just one satellite between the router and second satellite.
The 2.0.0.74 firmware seems to have reduced the satellite-to-router range compared to earlier versions--probaly related to the fix to address stability issues some folks were having. You could also have a new source of RF interference in your environment.
