Thank you for posting that. Thats one item that uses should do after a FW update has been applied. Power OFF everything for 30 seconds then back on .
Last resort would be a factory reset and setup from scratch.
Save off a new backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

I was losing it. Working from home with intermittent internet is less than desirable.
Here is what I finally found to resolve these annoying issues.
Unplugged router and both satellites, waited 20 seconds then plugged in the router, waited about 4 minutes, then plugged in the satellites. For 2 1/2 days now I have had zero issues. Even my IOS devices and MACBook are solid with no loading issues or drop outs.
Hope this helps someone.
Internet provider AT&T Fiber, no gateway, spoofed MAC address with Gigabit switch.
SW version- 3.2.17.12

I think the sequence of what to power on and waiting for router to grab and populate all of the devices, then plugging in the satellites. Just my observation.

Agreee. Seems like letting the RBR and devices get some time first, then RBS online after seems to work well. Wifi devices will migrate on there own to the RBS when they choose to.
