Device Comnection
I have the RBR850 - a router and two satellites. Is there a way to force a device to connect to a specific unit (router or satellite)? Brett
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings can help some indirectly move devices to near by RBR or RBS.
