RBS20 Connected to RBR20 (AP Mode) stops transmitting client traffic
Shotgun house, Orbi RBR20 in the middle, 1 RBS20 about 25' away in both directions. They have been working reasonably fine. Now, 1 of the satellites shows 5G backhaul connection but, intermittently...
Version: 2.7.3.2
Orbi: AP Mode (won't set time, can't check for updates)
Gateway SonicWall TZ series
RBR = Static IP
RBS = DHCP reservation static IPs
IPV6 disabled
Attached device map only reliablle for satellites, hosts on LAN sometimes not online but listed, not found on the network.
Had most of settings listed in config reference, unchecked fast switching and logging. Since it is an AP, uncheck other useless logging.
Will problably need to break out a wireless sniffer and see who is using what channel in the neighborhood..
Issue only happens with one of the satellites. Could be that they are too close to each other.

I should have spotted that in the subject.

If you want to update the firmware, do it manually. Always a better bet.
The manual describes how to go about it. Or:

But I don't understand this:

That label is a generic tag rather than a model number. (See question from FURRYe38.) So it could be one of a bunch of things. Google says this is some sort of firewall thing. Not a "gateway" as many of us understand it.
I am probably missing something. With luck FURRYe38 knows more about this atypical setup.
