Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What Catagory is the cabling between the router and RBS?

I have a couple of computers wired into one of the Satellites.
Every 15-20 minutes, those computers lose their connection to the router.
I am no longer able to ping 192.168.1.1, until something resolves itself and it comes back.
I have no idea how to debug this. If I plug the wire going to the Satellite directly into one of the computers, I do not have this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Running latest firmware, but I have not factory reset. I have done that in the past for other issues relating to getting devices to show up correctly under attached devices. But now that I have the 40 or so wifi devices set up with the right names/icons it would suck to lose all that with a factory reset.
I would make a back up configuration to file.
I have found a coorelation between the satellite losing its route to the router and one of the computers that is plugged into the router connecting to the work VPN. I'm not sure why that should happen or what to do about it. I don't think this is something that has been happening since I got this system.
When I connect to VPN on one of the computers that is connected to the satellite via wire, the satellite (connected via wired backhaul to the router) has intermittent issues connecting to the router (192.168.1.1).
Any ideas?
