Wireless speed vs Router connectivity color?
Hi all,
My first post. I just bought a RBK 23 (1 router and 2 satellites) and connected to a Spectrum modem. My internet speed is 400/400 through spectrum. I have the router in the office at 1en...
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the systeming working well currently?
I would power OFF the system for 1 minute then back on and check status. It may take time for the system to fully settle in.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz. Try enabling Beamforming.
One reason for change in signal status was that when you had Daisy Chain enabled the farthest satellite was getting connected to the nearest satellite. Thus signal status was good. Now that DS is disabled, the farthest satellite is connected however may not have a great signal connetion though it's working well which is fine.

2ndly, placement and distance is key. Your sq ft and distance are well with in the range. You might try adusting the RBS to be maybe a bit slower to see if the status changes.
The only gain by getting a 50 series system is the wireless back end is faster than the 40 series is all.
