RBR20 dropping internet and satellites losing connectivity
I have this same problem (wifi dropping, satellites losing connection to the router). My router is running the latest firmware V2.7.4.24, I have two satellites. This system has been rock solid for just over 2 years, it has been wildly inconsistent the last month. thanks for any advice.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
