Good evening.
Mine is working in Router as well BUT I have one funny story with this RBK850.
Last weekend i changed to a 1Giga ISP (from 500Mbps) and decided to change my Deco M9Plus setup with 1 router and 3 satellites.
My house has 110sqm in each fllor and is mostly wired and connected trough a switch.
My former setup was receiving the signal from the ISP Modem in bridge mode and went directly to the main deco (router) and from there to the switch and the satellites were ethernet connected.
I bought and installed the RBK853 and suddenly the dropouts started.
Conection was falling every 10m, speedtests didnt even started.
1st mistake - when the ISP changed the speed for 1Giga they started the dhcp server on the modem.
a lot of debug, reading this forum, upgrading the firmware (to this one that we are discussing) and i had to roll back to the Deco, as the kids could not do their normal remote classes (we were all with covid).
Yesterday, i decided to try everything from scratch...and to leave the tehernet backhaul behind.
so the router (RBR850) went into the entrance of the house, one satellite went to the 1st floor and fired up the system.
the speeds were ok (5GHz connection was poor in the satellite but working). i decided then to put the other satellite, on the room under the 1st floor and the signal was good in both.
Suddenly every 10m the nightamre returned....
at 2am i decided to turn off the satellite from the 1st floor...and then everything went marvellous.
all of this to say,
1. why cant i use the ethernet backhaul?
2. is the proximity from the satellites blocking/slowing the speed?
3. am i doing something totally stupid that i am not aware of?
regarding speed (now that it is working) and reliability RBR850/RBS850 are almost twice as fast as the prior Deco m9plus.
Deco app was better and Parental control was easier.
For sheer speed, now that it is working, i do prefer the 850´s but it is anoying not to use all the capabilities of the system.
B rgds To All
