What Firmware is currently loaded?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

The Network worked great for the first 24 hours and then dropped and i had to reset it. Apparently this happens everynight at the same time as my original set up.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how do you fix it? I would hate to have to return the entire system, but its frustrating and unsustainable to constantly have to reboot the system every single night.
Any help would be appreciated.

Firmware is V2.5.0.38
My house is about 4500 square foot. The Router is on the main floor and i have a satelite in the basement as i have a few things that are connected to that via ehternet. It is more than 30 feet away, but the connection is good (when the internet is working of course)
In looking at the settings, the wireless AP is on. Assume that is different than AP Mode? Sorry, I am a novice at this!
