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 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?

No switches in between the RBR and RBS?
What happens if you wired behind the other RBS, does the problem follow? I presume you dont' see this if your wired directly behind the RBR?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What Catagory is the cabling between the router and RBS?
