Hi Mike I also have the same setup RBR50 with 2 RBS50 satellites and was facing the same exact issue like yours. When I checked the serial number of my router it said origin Europe and after reading your post have changed the region to Europe and now my Internet doesn't stop. I have no clue as it why this is happening but this worked for me too so a big thank you as I spoke to the tech support here in India and they were going to send me a replacement satellite. Just hope it doesn't stop again. Thank you once again Mike.

Thanks for letting me know and I'm very pleased it worked for you. From my experience, it seems the revent back to the US pretty frequently. I tried cancelling automatic updates but that didn't help. So now, about once every 2 weeks, I go in and change it back to Europe. It's pretty inconveient, but at least it works.
