RBR20 Restarts randomly
I have a RBR20 set up in router mode. Two RBW30 Satellites FW: v2.3.5.26 Satellite FW: v2.3.5.6 Guest network is off Arris TM1602 cable modem 3000 sq ft house I have performed factory reset of the rou...
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
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:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Satellites are less than 30' apart.
I have tried these suggestions in the past and it did not work.
The satellites need to be 30 feet or more.
What happens if you turn OFF the RBWs and just leave the RBR running...still happens?All of the satellites were working well until the firmware upgrade. I removed one satellite to see if this makes any difference. The router re-initializes 5 - 20 times a day and I am not sure, but it seems to happen when the entire family is trying to work at the same time.
