    As I see stability in the Wifi connection I think the change in Wifi channels has helped or maybe has not been any interferences in the surroundings.

    I close the post.

     

    Thanks

I see wifi drops on devices connected to both the router and satellites. These drops are short in time, recovering wifi after 15 seconds aprox., but in occasions it happens again and again during several hours, and it is very annoying. In theory, only devices connected to satellites should feel the impact, but the reality is that all devices lose wifi connection. 

 

Thanks for your answer

Try changing the wifi channels that you use for the 5 GHz as well as for the 2.4 GHz bands. It can be that you have disturbances from the surroundings?

    Wifi channels changed:

     

    2.4GHz from 1 to 6

    5GHz from 36 to 48

     

    Let's wait several days to check if the wifi is stable. By the way, I see the connections between router and satelites are using 2.4GHz band:

     

     

    Maybe it will make the configuration completely stable to 5GHz interferences, but at the cost of a lower performance. I would be happy with the stability even if i loose speed of transmission.

     

    Thanks
