Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Try this with just the RBR ON to see if networking returns to expected behavior.
sorry for the delay. I followed directions to letter, i took a little more time but all 22 devices connected to RBR except the ones running on Ethernet that was connected to RBS. things still the same, can see my shares on mobiles and tablets not on laptops
