RBR20 / RBS20 Very Unstable - Interrupted connectivity
HI. I have a RBR20/RBS20 setup in my house. For about three months it worked fine for the most part. Problem started in the past couple of weeks. WIFI drops several times a day, not a clear pattern. ...

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Thanks for your response. I did several factory resets and adjusted settings as suggested. Unfortunatelly no luck. I gave up and upgraded to RBK50 router and satellite, returning the RBK20 while I still can.

Sounds like the 20 series may have been faulty.
Enjoy the 50 series.
