RBK50 Disconnects driving me crazy
I'm a somewhat older fellow that doesn't have the greatest grasp of modern technology. Just when I try to research the latest "get rid of cable" rave, I decide to update my WiFi router with what I t...
Any progress on this?
Not really
Haven't done much since my last posts which I believe was Wednesday evening.
I played around with satellite placement last night though but really couldn't find anything that seemed to work any better. But the more I thought about it the more I'm thinking this isn't a satellite issue because when it disconnects averything disconnects.
I bought this system from Amazon as a refurbished unit and it wouldn't surprise me if someone returned it because of the disconnects. The upside is I have 30 days to return so I can still play around with them but since I'm just a somewhat computer illiterate guy, I'm running out of options.
One other thing that confuses me are suggestions on this post are often rebuttled by someone else so I have a hard time knowing who to believe.

Good luck...I hope it works out.
In a open forum such as this, what appears to be rebuttling, is simply folks stating their opinion and hopfully trying to help. As a user, one must sort through it and decide which makes the most sense. Private messages to the ones offering the suggestions or to the community moderators is another option.
If this is a re-furb unit from amazon, and it's not working well. I would return it and either get something you know thats NEW if possible or go with something else. I've encountered this as well with a different Mfr router before with Amazon. There good and refunds and replacements.
Good Luck.
