Satellites keep disconnecting after reboot
So far, this product has been terrible. Out of the box, everything works great. But when I change settings (mainly reserve IPs) and the system reboots, the two satellites flicker in between blue and m...
I will try this... so it’s been one hour and they are still going magenta. The thing is, with JUST the RBR20, I can barely get on the 5GHz channel and have poor connectivity at under 15 feet.
Also, streaming is an issue so I’d like to be able to hardwired first a more consistent connection.
Would playing around with the transmit power and preamble help at all??

Possible you may have a faulty system out of the box. You may want to return the system and get another or try a RBK50 system if thats available.
probably... our master bedroom is only about 11 feet from the RBR and it wont connect to 5GHz, so im stuck on 2.4GHz 1.4Mbps... only when i have the satellites on (and working!) i get full speeds.
bought this open box from Amazon and they wont replace the unit... also Netgear wont honour the warranty because the original ower had already registered it. SOL for me.
thx FURRYe38
Ya if you can't connect to 5Ghz at that range something is wrong. Hopefully a new system will work better.

- Or it’s my house... I’ve used the following systems without success and poor speeds and connectivity:
Netgear RBK23
D-Link COVR-3902
Netgear R8000
TP-Link 2600AC
