Hello Furry,
My home is about 2400 sq.ft. single floor. The distance between the RBR and RBS is 45 feet wired ethernet connection.
I am using manual channels 2.4GHz = channel 11 and 5 GHz = channel 48
I have the Implicit Beamforming, MU-MIMO and Fast Roaming disabled.
I did a factory reset on both the RBR and RBS, apparently that did not fix the issue.
The firmware version on both the RBR and RBS are same V2.7.3.22
Yes there are atleat 10 Wifi neighbouring SSID that i can see.
The problem is frequent RBS discnnection every 30 min, i have to reebot the RBS unit to get it back online, which takes 8 minutes. This is so frustrating which this happens in the middle of a meeting. Please somone help.

Is the RBS directly connected to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between the RBR and RBS?
Does this disconnection happen if you move the RBS to say 30 feet from the RBR and disconnect the ethernet cable from the RBS and let it connect wirelessly?
