FYI and this version of FW:
20ft is too close for the RBR and S2.
I really can't get them too much further away, and there is a heavy wooden cabinet and 3 walls between the two.
The firmware is 2.7.1.60 so it might be the arp storm, but the router hasn't picked that up yet. I'll try to get a wire sniffer on it sometime this weekend to see.
However, I think I found the problem. I had notified the issue happened when I would disconnect my MacBook from a USB-C hub with Ethernet (AUKEY USB C Hub 8-in-1). I only did this at night normally, but today had to disconnect around lunchtime and the same issue occurred. It turns out others are complaining that the Ethernet on this device is "dangerously unstable" and also noted the same issue of losing the entire network. I guess I'm going to have to get a different usb-c hub. I'll update in another week on the results of not using the device.
20 feet is still too close.
Yes, I remember someone else posting about a simiar USB hub causing problems. Let us know how it goes after trying with out this device.
