RBS 50 Suddenly Not Working - MAGENTA

Hi - My RBS50 had been working fine for several months.  Its in the basement of my home, on a different floor than my RBR, and both are on updated firmware.

 

It is now constantly losing connection with the Router.  It was very intermittent, sometimes having the connection and then often dropping and periodically reconnecting.

 

I did a factory reset and tried to synch them again and now its a solid magenta.

 

Any advice what I can do to get this working again?  Thanks

    Remove the RBS from the list of connected devices on the RBRs web page.  

    Bring the RBS to the same room as the RBR. Press the sync button on the RBS then RBR, see if it will sync.

        Does the RBS appear in the top section of the connected clients list at all? 

        Turn OFF the RBS then check the RBRs connected clients page.
