RBR50 + 2 x RBS50 Fixed Backhaul Connection?

Hi Guys

 

Are there any possible settings / commands from UI or console to set static backhaul? The ideal setup in my environment is Network Map A - have both RBS connects to RBR directly, however after hours of usage the backhaul is changed and updated as Network Map B. And I think it is switched only because I left the door open, which is usually closed.

 

All three devices are running on v2.7.1.60, splitted SSID and in AP mode.

 

[Network Map A]

RBS50 <--Wired--> RBR50 <--5G--> RBS50v2

 

[Network Map B]

RBR50 <--Wired--> RBS50 <--5G--> RBS50v2

 

Happy to discuss!

 

P.S. I have the door closed for about 2 hours and it is yet reverting to Network Map A.

  • If you have the RBS wired to the RBR, then they should remain connected via wired regardless of the door being opened or close. 

    Be sure your using good quality LAN cables. CAT6 is recommended. 

    Is the a LAN switch being used in between the RBR and RBS? 

    Be sure Daisy Chain is disable on the RBR.

     

    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.

     

    What region are you located?
