    Thank you for your reaction.
    This is/was not the problem.

    Complete system was/is wired backhaul.

    How may satellites can be connected to the RBR, when it (the RBR itself) is in AP mode?

    I've performed a complete new setup of the system.
    In the beginning the RBR is in router-mode, and all the satelittes are connected the right way, they are all (3) synced.
    But when i put the RBR in AP mode, one sattelite will not connect the right way, it is out of sync.
    So i connected first one rbs (when RBR is in AP mode) and synchronized it, than i turned of the power of this rbs (nr. 1), than i connected nr. 2 and also nr. 3 and synchronized them also. When nr. 2 and 3 where connected (up and running) i powered up nr. 1 (it was allready synchronized before) all the 3 rbs are synchronized now. And problem solved!
