Firmware v3.2.10.11 makes ethernet backhaul unstable
It's all in the title. I use ethernet backhaul for one of my satellites as it's pretty far from the router. Worked fine with the previous firmware, but 3.2.10.11 made the ethernet backhaul connection unstable. The satellite shows a strange pattern, solid blue for a while, then briefly flip from blue to magenta and then back to blue. Sounds like it's losing its connection (flips to magenta), then gets it back pretty quickly (turns blue), and since it happens constantly, it essentially shows blue most of the time. If I disconnect ethernet and use WiFi backhaul instead, then no such problem, so it doesn't appear to be a HW problem.
More beta testing for consumers on behalf of Netgear. That's unfortunate.

There a switch in between the RBS and RBR?
How is the RBS connected to the RBR?
My two RBS have been stable since v10.11 was loaded. Use HP Procurve switches in between RBS and RBR.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
- Direct CAT8 connection between RBR and RBS. Didn’t perform a factory reset yet.
Whats the distance between the RBS and RBR? 30 feet is starting...
Lets try a reset on the RBR and RBS to be sure. Something I haven't seen.
Be sure to set CTS and RTS to 2347 regardlesss after the reset.
Shouldn't see any issues with wired RBS though.
