Thanks for asking.....
You probably knew what would happen...
Now I know why there are so much complains about this system...
What happend:
I disconnected the power of satellite1 (satellite2 is also directly connected to this one...)
So only the satellites were down not the router itself !!
When I turned the power on again from sattelite1 the router completely turned down...
No wifi anymore no nothing I could not even login to the router anymore.
I turned everything off reset my ISP modem and turned the router back on (satellites still connected)
Nothing came back no wifi no internet nothing...
Then I turned the router off again and disconnected the power to satellite one.
Turned the router back on and waited until I had wifi and could connect to the router again...
After 5 minutes I also turned on satellite1 and at first there were some strange things....
Like the connection turned between 5Ghz and wired a couple of times...
But after another 5 minutes both satellites were online and showing wired again and everything is still stable at this point...
So the conclusion is that if there are no power faillures or something disconnected then it will work flawless..... :smileylol:
- Yeah that makes it unreliable. Especially for folks that have cameras or security connected to them. Losing power for 1 min while on vacation takes everything down until you get home and go through 30 minutes of crazy debug to fix.
Unacceptable.- Yes you are right unacceptable....
And I have security camera's so for me it's good to know this...
They are almost there I guess...( Just to stay positive...) Hopefully the next update will be before the holidays...😉
