A ploy to buy the new Wifi 7 routers???
Since updating the firmware on my RBR750s the satellites have intermittently stopped working, however, previously they have worked perfectly over their life with no problems at all.
Is this a ploy to stop users with RBR750s using them and force them to buy the new WiFi 7 product?
I would ask support, but my routers are out of support, and I dont really want to pay for support if this model is being purposefully phased out

What version of FW did you load on the system. There are known issues with the latest v.31 version of FW. If you updated to to this, please downgrade the RBS FIRST to v.21 then the RBR lastly.

Thanks for the info, It was the latest version .31, it was a little 'forced' so i took the update where i usually test first.
The joy of roll backs......
After the RBS have been reverted back then RBR, you'll need to factory reset and setup from scratch. Once thats done, Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
