Hopefully won't have to downgrade...seem more like too much wifi going on in a small home. Hopefully the RBR and jsut 1 RBS will be able to work better...Hope they respond back.

Try down grading your firmware to 2.3.5.30.  The GUI seems to be more accurate with that version. 

 

I experienced essentially the same thing that you did with 2.5.1.8.

    Same here. My system had been fine until the firmware was upgraded to 2.5.1.8.

      Everyone is right on this thread, I have downgraded the firmware and its been solid since doing this but also I have removed 2 RBS50's and got coverage in my house and my SkyQ boxes are now working wirelessly without any issues like they were before.

       

      Thanks to all that helped, going to stay on the previous firmware as its all working!!.  Thans all

        Next time try a factoyr reset after applying a FW and and the status doesn't report correctly. v2.5.1.8 is currently working with my RBK50 and the back haul status reads correctly for both wired and wireless.
