RBR40 Firmware Trials, Tribulations, and Partial Solutions
Summary
RBR40 = Firmware issues and bugginess
RBR20 = small, simple, solid reliability
RBW30 = Simple addon satellite
Orbi Overall = Powerful and highly customizable. Perfect for network geek...
Thanks for suggestion, but yes, I tried those things and more.
Keep in mind that the same issue would apply to the working solution, ie/ the RBW30 synching to the RBR20 (works fine) is the same as getting the two RBS20 satellites synching with RBR40. For whatever reason, I was able to (eventually) get any combination of two satellites to synch with the 40, but only the 20 successfully connected to all 3 satellites.
i may try again after the next firmware update for the RBR40, but since my setup is now working and stable, I’ll leave it “as is” for now.

Makes me wonder if there is a HW failure of the 40 series with 3 satellites.
