RBK50 and RBS50: constantly disconnecting and dropping internet
Running on 2.1.4.16.
I have an Orbi RBK50 connected through wired backhaul and an RBS50 connected wirelessly on my network. The system works great periodically, but on some days it constantly ...
I have the exact same problem. I am using the RBK50 with 2 satelites. I have been using this system for over a year. For the last 10 months I have never had a problem. After either the last firmware update or the update before that, I now lose internet connectivity through the satelites. The PC's, Roku's and TV's connected to the satelites all show full (5 bars) connection to the satelite but, there is no internet connectivity. When I come to a PC that is connected to the main unit that is conencted via ethernet to my cable modem, everything works fine. In fact I have wireless internet from the main unit within a short range.
The satelites never lose connection to the main, they simply have no internet service to them. The only solution that works thus far is to reboot the router each and every time this happens, which at this point is 2-3 times per day. I have read on other boards that going back to a previos firmware version does NOT solve the problem.
Thoughts?

Tried a factory reset on things with new firmware?
