[RBS40V] wired connection drops daily
I've had an RBR50 (router + double satellite) setup for a few years, and I just recently bought an RBS40V Voice Satellite to put in my room, which is about 21m (70 ft) away from the router. It works...
Alright, I totally forgot to give an update to the situation (sorry).
I setup a wired connection from the RBS40V to the router, and while I couldn't monitor it 24/7 for disconnects, that seemed to have solved the issue. I guess the distance I had it before was too much, and there were too many walls the signal had to go through, causing the intermittent disconnects.
I ended up going back to a range extender, and it has been working fine since. Thanks for the suggestions!
Room sized walls? LIke several feet thick????
wifi passes through wood better than concrete but the thicker it is, the more it blocks.
something else to keep in mind is the RBS40V uses a 866mbps backhaul versus the rbs50 has a 1733mbps backhaul (connection back to router) so the rbs50 will be more tolerant of for more distances.
