RBS50 Wired Backhaul Drops and Sat Goes Offline
I have a strange issue that started happening recently... Took a while to figure out what is happening. ~24 hours after connecting wired backhaul the RBS50 will drop offline. Setup: RBR50 v1, R...
Hi FURRYe38,
Sorry cable is Cat 6 - 50ft.
I did sync backhaul via wireless and let it run for a few days. It consistently has the issue about 24 hours after connecting wired backhaul cable.
House is about 3000 sq ft. Distance between Router and Sat is about 30ft. (3 walls, sheet rock / wood studs). However wireless backhaul works perfectly.
I have not tried another Eth cable.
I have not done a factory reset and setup from scratch since last FW update.
I will try factory reset and setup from scratch next. If that does not work I will buy a new Eth cable to test.
Sounds good.
Update: I performed full factory reset and reconfigure of the RBS50 and RBR50. I let it connect via wireless backhaul and run for about four hours. I then plugged in the wired backhaul cable connecting both devices (Port 1 on both). I confirmed wired backhaul connection. It has been running for four days without issue.
