RBS40 not syncing on ethernet backhaul
Hello all, I am running 1 x RBR40 w/ 2 x RBS40 in AP mode. Both satelites connected using ethernet backhaul. One of the satelites works fine everytime and gets the blue ring on top. However, ...
Factory reset the RBS and first sync it wirelessly, once it's connected there, then plug in the ethernet cable.
Be sure your using known good working CAT6 lan cabling.
Try CrimpOns suggestion as well.
Disable Daisy Chain on the RBR.
Let us know how it goes.

Both satelites connected using ethernet backhaul. One of the satelites works fine everytime and gets the blue ring on top. However, the other one connects but then after a short period of time(<1 min) kind of resets and disconnects LAN connection and flashes white ring on top. After a short time, connections are ok again but then the whole process repeats.
This goes on a cycle and keeps disconnecting LAN devices on the satelite. I've tried to reset the satelite and then resyncing with the router using 5Ghz and that shows a blue ring; once I move it back to the ethernet spot, it just refuses to work again.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Yeah thanks for the comments everybody.
I found out that the solution was literally to leave it to do its job. I came back to it after 4-5 hours and it just miraculously started to function as normal.
However, I feel it's not normal that a system like this be unstable for the first 3-4 hours after connection. Maybe someone could enlighten me on why this is the case?
Thanks for the help anyways!
