Cannot sync extra RBS850 to existing RBK853 system

Thank you for your reaction.
Problem solved
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!

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
