Hi, running RBR50 (with V2.1.4.10) & 2 RBS50 (V2.1.4.10) .
since last nights firmware update, my network is dead. rebooting the router & Satellites dont help . searching this forum i see there is some issue with wired backhauls on v2.1.4.10( which i use on both of my satilites) . ive allready tried resetting the router & Satellites back to default . then as soon as i bring 1 Satellite with the wired backhual up, it crashes evrything .
im going to try going wireless on the backhaul , but this does not give me the best performacnce . can someone tell me if im missing something ?
thanks

With 3 satellites (1 wifi, 2 ethernet) on 2.1.4 I wasn't able to keep the system up for more than 3 or 4 hours (even after a full reset from scratch). I've only been using 2 satellites (both wifi) for 14 hours and no issues. In my opinion 2.1.4 broke wired backhaul. Going to run on two satellites (wifi) thru the weekend. If it stays up for the weekend I will plug the 3rd satellite back in (with ethernet). Will give progress update after weekend.

reply to furrye88:
full reset
everything that I can think of is disabled and has been for months.
the following is disabled:
daisy
beamforming
mimu
fast roaming
I'm in AP mode and have selected channel 1 for wifi. Been working great until the latest firmware from two days ago. Been up for 16 hours now but not using ethernet backhaul for satellites.
