To many satellites?
I have 1 RBR50 and two satellites. One satellite in kitchen and the other on the first floor. My router is in the fuse box. Latest firmware. Sometimes i have internet drop outs. Support desk told...

Yes.
So best way to check this is to test just the RBR alone to see how well it does with out any RBS online. Then try just 1 RBS, placed out at 30 feet, maybe on 2nd floor up from where the RBR is on 1st level. Test the system out to see how it works. IF you don't need the 2nd RBS, I'd keep it for backup in case something happens.

Thanks very much Furry !
Do you measuse the square feet by adding each floot to the sum? Groundfloor is 1000 square feet. I have three floors.
My firmware is V2.5.2.4
Internet provider is KPN (Netherlands). My modem is a Sagemcom F5359. Internet connection is glass fiber. (500Mbit up and down). My NG is in Router mode. My modem has unforntunalty nu bridge function so a placed met NG router with fixed IP adress in the DMZ and deleted portforwards on the Modem/Router by KPN.
Distance between my NGRouter and satellity is about 10 Meters.
Maybe to much overkill in my home for two satellites ;-) Thinking about selling the second one. But if this is the case: how is it possible that the devices are interfering? Mesh should solve this issues i thought?
