What happens if you turn down the power output of the RBR. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings to 50 or 25%. Then try to connect any wifi device to the RBS? Besure to disable the wifi radio on the wifi device for 5 seconds then turn it back ON?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
I have turned down the power on the 2.4 to 50%, it did not make a difference. Also a note if I power down the router my SSID completely dissapears to all devices. Shouldnt I still see the satellite? I have not performed a factory reset yet but I was having the same issue before I updated the firmware. I can try that next.
Ya you should still see the RBS SSID being broadcast. If not, then something isn't working on the RBS. Try a reset. Press the button in back for 15 seconds then release. Use the sync button in back after the top ring LED starts to pulsate WHITE, then press the sync button on the RBR.
