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

FURRYe38 - this version is inferior to 4.6.6.11. in regards to the satellite.
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 40 to 50 feet. I am in a split level house so lots of walls between the two.
What happens if you set transmit power to 50% on the RBR? I have tired both 50% and 25% and it makes a little difference. On 4.6.6.11 it held onto many of my 2.4 clients. I have mutliple cameras and have some on the router and some on satellite was one of the main reasons for going with this system. When all the cameras are bound to the router it impacts my other 2.4 clients.
Any other ideas? I may go back to 4.6.6.11 as it was rock solid. Do you know if NG still will be forcing upgrades?

Did you power off the system and back ON after 1 full minute or did you do a full on factory reset and set up from scratch after this version was applied? Remember it's up to clients to pick and chose where they connect too. Try a reboot of the RBR after changing power levels to help clients connect to RBS.
Any other ideas? I may go back to 4.6.6.11 as it was rock solid. Something to try for sure if v5 doesn't seem to be working for you.
Do you know if NG still will be forcing upgrades? No.
