My wife has a Chromebook for work. Whenever she starts it up, after about 10-15 seconds, both RBSs flash white, and stop working. The RBR is fine, and she can move to a different room, closer to it, and continue working OK. The only solution seems to be to recycle the setup again. But the problem is reproducible, and it happens every time.

How very odd. Try "forget" the wireless network connection on the Chromebook and establish it again (i.e., force a fresh DHCP request). This will ensure that it is not creating an IP address conflict or something like that.

Thanks for your response, Mikey.

I got back home from travelling and had a chance to try this on the Chromebook. It was still the same. Absolutely reproducible, 100%.

I've tried removing both the main WiFi network, and the Guest network, and retrying them.

Both networks resulted in the satellites flashing white when the Chromebook reconnected.
