RBK40 system, V2 1.4.16 software on router and all satellites. Using wired ethernet for backhaul.
One satellite unit is in detached garage and is behind 2 Gigibit switches. It always shows as 2.4Ghz backhaul. Another satellite reandomly switches between wired and wireless backaul. Seems the latest firmware dis not resolve this problem. Trying to login to the RBR40 using orbilogin,com always faills...i tried clearing the browser data cache, a different browser, etc ... but noluck... I can usually login using the IP address, but this method has failed 2 times in the last 12 hours.
Attached devices shows the satellite units as connected devices but not satellite devices. Also constantly going offline and later back online. The wifi signal seems ok most of the time, perhaps a buggy UI
The iOS and Android app are largely useless. 9/10 times I get "Try Again" message
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
