Orbi Satellite RBS50

I have had RBS50 for sometime now like 2-3 years. I have 3 satellites usually connected wirelessly without a single issue. Now I have created a new underground room and connected it using ethernet to one of the satellites (i moved it there). the satellite keeps disconnecting every minute or so. I notice it more when I connect my iphone to it. All devices on firmware v2.7.3.22 any ideas?.
  • Connected to RBS and yes Cat6. The satellite has been synced when it was in the other room. It is a bit far to try to connect them wirelessly but i can try…

    Is the RBS connected to the back of the RBR or another RBS? 

    What CAT# lan cable is being used? CAT6 is recommended. 

    Did you first sync the RBS to the RBR wirelessly, then after thats synced, plug in the RBS via ethernet cable?

        As a quick test, does the one RBS connect to the RBR and sync ok? 

         

        Wondering if wiring to another RBS maybe a problem.

        Unfortunately, the problem still persists. I think i will have a technician to come look at the wiring.
