OrbiOS 2.4.1 - Total mess

No I do not. However, my satellite is quite far from the router (450 feet) as it s in my guest house. So I use two Enstation 5 ac units as the wired bridge. When I started having issues I did wire directly with a cable at about 100 feet with the same results so I don’t think the enstation link was an issue. Also, this setup worked up until the last fw update. It would really be nice to have a setting on the satellite where we could force it to wired uplink -as I noted above, it seems odd that a satellite would prefer a very week wireless backhaul to a high quality wired one
I should clarify that the two enstation units should appear to the network as a direct wired connection, or maybe a wired connection through an Ethernet switch. They basically take wired data, convert to wireless, beam to other end over a secure wireless link, then the other end converts it back to a wired connection again.
