RBR50 generating resolving hosts error

I have 1 RBR50 and 3 RBS50 units.

 

Often (> 50%) I an receiving a 'resolving hosts' error on my computer.  I find that I am connected to the nearest RBS50 with a stong signal.   I then connect to the RBR50 using 192.168.1.1 with no problem.  That would seem to elliminate the RBS50 as the issue.

 

The status shows that the internet connection is ok.  If I reboot the router, the connection will be ok for a period of time then it will happen again.  

 

Please help.  Any suggestions?

    What FW version are you using?

     

    Have you set up any reserved IP addresses ON the router for your PCs and devices?

      The firmware level is V2.1.2.18

       

      I have no reserved addresses.  I know networking and this is baffling.

        Try the new v2.1.3.4. Do a factory reset on both router and Satellites then set up from scratch. Skip setting up the Satellites.

         

        I would also do a IPCONFIG /release, then /renew then /flushdns on your PCs. Reboot reset of mobile devices AFTER you have set up the router.

         

        Test. Then set up the Satellites.
