RBS50 satellite random reboots
AC3000 system (RBR50 router and two RBS50 satellites) purchased at Costco in June-2017.
One of the satellites (always the same one) randomly reboots several times per day for no apparent reason.
...
Have not noticed any disconnects since I moved the satellite closer to the router a week ago.
40' from router to satellite that has random reboots.
36' from router to satellite that is working fine.
Using Auto for 2.4Ghz.
Channel 48 for 5Ghz
7 wifi neighbors
Try using one of the manual channels mentioned.
The signal level maybe on the fringes at 40 feet, depending upon building materials as well.
I would keep the 36feet and see how it goes there...

I tried something that seems to be working. No reboots so far.
I moved the rebooting satellite to the 2nd floor. It is now on the same floor as and within 30' of the router. And the devices on the 1st floor and that end of the house are still connecting to that satellite.
If there is still a problem, I will also try using a manual channel for 2.4Ghz.
