Updated last night from 4.6.6.11 that had been rock solid. Did a dirty upgrade and did not power either router or Satelite off after upgrade.

 

Lost satelite and needed to reboot everything. It appears that the mesh is not working as well in this firmware.  It has not picked up some of the nearest clients-  

 

Everything else appears to be working correctly

Satelite on this firmware was / is not working as well as on 4.6.6.11.

Would not pick up clients that are very close and then some clients it did find, it dropped them.

 

Decided to do a factory reset and power off for 5 minutes or so and then set it up fresh.

I will update on if this makes a difference.

    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?

    What happens if you set transmit power to 50% on the RBR?

      I have many questions.  Is there a limit for questions.  Furry seems to over the limit, if there is one.  Just asking.  Thank you
