Using RBS50 Sattelite intermittently causes buffering and speed to crawl
I have an RBR50 router with two RBS50 satellites. For 3-4 months, everything seemed to work great. In the last week (with no changes having been made on my part), one of my satellites has had serious...
Turn OFF all the other RBS and leave the one RBS online.
Swap RBS postions with another to see if the problem follows.
Factory reset the one RBS and re-sync it to the RBR while the other RBS or turned OFF. Test.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Is Daisy Chain enabled on the RBR?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
I took satellite 1 (the one giving me issues) and replaced it with satellite 2. I left satellite 1 turned off.
I still had the same issue with satellite 2.

They're asking you to post your experience with your firmware
So a known working satellite in place of the one that is giving problems is now experiencing same problems?
Does the 1st problem RBS work in place of the original RBS position?
Seems like some interferences going on at the problem RBS location thats causing the RBS to not work right.What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-route
Has a reset on the RBR and RBS been performed as if yet?
No need to post anywhere else, just post here.
