This firmware addresses security vu...
Hi all, after 1,5 years our setup is suddenly performing very bad. It seems this has to do with the firmware update. Do other people have the same problem? I can see that the network map is different. Where normally I would have a RBR and three RBS units on the same level, I now suddenly have two RBS on the level below the RBR and then another RBS under the two RBS. Strangely this last one is the closest to the RBR...
Would a new config restore the original setup as is recommended?
Hope to hear from you.
Best regards,
Remko
Is the system working? What not performing?
Would indicate that the one RBS connected to the nearest or closer RBS while the RBS and RBR were processing the update. Possible that the 3rd RBS couldn't connect to the RBR when maybe it was processing and no wifi was being broadcast so the 3rd RBS connected to the other RBS that it found to be working.
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 wired or wirelessly connected.

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.Hi Furrye38, thanks for your swift reply.
System is working but it is very slow and will often have time outs where nothing happens.
House is about 2.500 sqf over two floors. RBR than about 16ft to RBS1 (hallway) and than some 30ft to RBS2 (back in the house near my office) and also some 30ft to RBS3 (first floor).
I will try the sequence you suggest and let you know soon after that.
Thanks again.

For that size of home, the RBR and just one RBS would be needed. Maybe two RBS with the power on the RBR set to 25%.
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.
