Ethernet Backhaul is freezing up WiFi completely and kicking everyone off (RBR50) & (RBS50)
I have factory reset these both multiple times. I have tried to originally connect them wirelessly, and then shut off the Satellite, and plug it into ethernet, and then turn it back on. This locks up...
Have you tried simply waiting? Recognition of wired backhaul takes minutes, not seconds. It generally takes 5 minutes per satellite for my system to stabilize after starting up each wired satellite one at a time.
One theory is that wiring a satellite causes it to use the same LAN address simultaneously for both wired and wireless interfaces, resulting in the storm you see. But the system eventually figures out that it's wired and shuts off the wireless backhaul. This is just a theory, I don't know whether it's the true explanation.
Ok, I believe you need to do 1 at time and wait for the top led to turn on BLUE for each unit.
Hoping the new beta FW might address this power loss issue. Something to ask about and try.
Thanks. Yeah I did that. I brought Up the router teat d and made sure it was working, then brought the 2nd online got blue top, and then waited 10 minutes. And it was still completely locked up and not working. Will try a hard reset on the satellite and a re-add in a bit.
