What Firmware version is currently loaded?
\30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Power OFF the RBS. Remove the RBS from the RBRs connected clients page. Power ON the RBS. Press the sync button on the RBS then on the RBR and re-sync the RBS to the RBR.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Set CTS to 2347. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings on the RBR.

Hello, I have firmware version
V3.2.18.2_1.4.14 |
I have tried the suggestions to no avail. I have my laptop now connected to the router via ethernet, and after restarting the router, my laptop is the only device connected. I have a next door neighbor using wifi.

A factory reset and set up from scratch will be your next step.

Thanks Furry, this actually worked! But what settings can I mess with in the future so that I don't have to factory reset the router each time it power cycles?

Shouldn't have to mess with anything really.
I would make back up configuration to file for safe keeping. In case of a reset, you can just load the backup config fron file.
Hopefully this should keep working for you with out a need for reset.
