Backhaul quality is horrible
I bought a RBR50 router (configured in AP mode) and 3x RBS50 satellites. To diagnose the problem I switched off all satellites, except one. The problem is that a neighbour is using the exact channel ...
Try the beta.
Theres no CLI support.

I'm on FW 2.1.2.18. Just curious, why Cat6? I have Cat 5e which should be more than sufficient. I have a wireless backhaul, not wired. I'd mainly like to know if there is a way to make more advanced changes via a CLI?

Not yet. I'll give a try. Where can I find those beta firmware ?
On the download pages I don't see beta firmwares :

https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBS50.aspx#download
Note : I don't understand the numbering either, why is the current version 2.0.1.4 which is lower than the 2.1.2.18 which I'm running...

I flashed the router and the 3 satellites to the 2.1.3.4. Then I connected the IPTV to 1 satellite and switched off the 2 others.
The backhaul is still on the same 5 GHz frequencies.
The good news is that the IPTV is running since half an hour without a glitch. I'll give this firmware a run for around a week. Then I'll switch on the second satellite, wait a little and then the third one. I'll update this post.
BETA MR 2.1.3 software can be found here:

Glad you go it working. Should work better than older FW.
Let us know if you see other issues.
