After about 4 months of realtive stability, my RBS50 continues to lose connectivity from the RBR50 located ony 30' away through wood framing. I will reset it, it will be BLUE for a while, and then turn MAGENTA at random intervals. It is becoming untenable, and highly irritating - defeating the entire purpose of this expensive system. Is there a definitive sequence for resetting or perhaps troubleshooting this? I have reset, performed a sync with both units next to each other. It doesn't improve the continued drop out of the RBS50. Any known defects or failures of the RBS50s? The RBR50 seems to work fine. Thank you.
