Ok so I updated to .13 yet the issue still persists, at the same time in the evening, always around 6:25pm both the satellite and the router (in AP mode) light up in magenta. No chance to connect anymore, not wirelessly, not with wire.<This seem to point to either a interference problem in your envirionment or faulty HW, however if both are failing at the same time during same time frame in the evening, I would presume there is some sort of interence issue going on and wouldn't be a HW issue.
- restarted router and satellite: same issue
- tried re-syncing: same issue.
- Switched satellites: same issue
- tried other ethernet cable: same issue
- tried different ethernet ports on both satellite and router: same issue
- factory reset the router: same issue> Did you factory reset the RBS as well?
- keep satellite switched off after magenta: no issues!
- turn on satellite next morning: no issues! Until ~6:25pm
there's no devices conecting specifically around that time either. Also no airplanes flying over the house around that time.
I still need suggestions for solutions :(
What happens if you use online 1 RBS and not 2?
That’s the combo I’m running on now. Just 1 out of 2 satellites. The other one is not even registered after the factory reset.
And is the problem still happening with just 1?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?

The total size of the house is about 186sqm, about 2,000 sqft. The two satellites are about 13m apart, separated through thick brick walls, a metal/concrete floor and doors.Possible distance and building materials could be a factor here. 42ft maybe too far in between since you have brick, concrete and metal in between. These will impact wifi signal travel. Try 25-30ft with the RBS.
