MS80 not reconnecting to MR80
This is a Tr i-Band 3 device system. MR80 is the router. 2 MS80 satellites. This was all setup and working. Then about after 10days the satellites stopped connecting to the router. If i hard wir...
That could very well be without checking RSSI on both. Can't do that since the Orbi died though. After my router restart this morning, the satellites reconnected, so I suspect there is something other than distance and interference going on. If it ends up being too much of a hassle, I'll just return the NH system and get something else. Plenty of other mesh systems on the market, and I went with the NH because the Orbi did me well.
I expect the MS in my studio to have occasional issues. It's the furthest away and there are a fair number of walls, including an exterior stucco wall, between it and the MR. However, my issue this morning consisted of both MS units failing to sync until the MR was restarted. The studio MS came right back online after the MR restart, without restarting the MS too. I made the mistake of resetting (with the reset pinhole button) the inside MS before the restart, but once I re-added it via the phone app, it connected properly again too.

Id try moving the MS a bit closer to the MR. You might try turning OFF one MS and run just the other MS and see if the problem continues our not. Then turn on the 2nd one and see.
What is the distance between the MR and RS currently?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
