Satellite internet drops out or slows randomly

Question

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am currently on 2.4.1.16 and have a router w/ single sat system. Now I am having an issue with the satilite randomly dropping connectivity to devices to almost no bandwidth.&nbsp;&nbsp;The satilite is currently 25-30 feet away from the router. I have moved it to 15' away to 45' away... 45' away caused it to loose it connection to the router itself... 15' makes no difference, I get the same odd bandwidth drop.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any ideas?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, I recently factory reset it and I disabled UPnP, Daisy Chaining. I enabled beamforming. It's still dropping out. I have a lot of HUE lights, and sonos speakers, and nest security/cameras.&nbsp;It is still dropping out randomly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you turn off the RBS, leaving the RBR online, does the devices maintain connections with the RBR?&nbsp;&nbsp;Possible your RBS maybe faulty...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have turned off my RBS and devices attached to the satelite have been dropped from the network.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sounds like a faulty RBS.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try this, manually reload FW on to the RBS using a wired PC directly to the RBS web page. Then factory reset the RBS and re-add it to the RBR.&nbsp;If it still fails, the RBS will need to be replaced.&nbsp;
