Devices connected to Satellite RBS850 loses WLAN connection
Hello all, have a RBS850 in the attic. This is connected by wire to the LAN. Since I moved the RBR850 router to a different location in the basement, the devices connected to the RBS850 keep losing ...
I think the problem is solved. I have not experienced another wifi outage since 24 hrs. I have deactivated the RBS850 again and reactivated it after about an hour. During the activation I pressed the reset button. In difference I used a paper clip and not the wire which I had used before. I was clearly paying attention to whether the button was responding or not. It takes about 20 minutes until the RBS850 was back online. I thank everyone for the support. If I do not contact you again the problem is solved.
If your RBS is in the attic, is this attic space well cooled and ventilated?
Sounds like you may have a faulty RBS.
I would contact NG support and see what your options are:

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
