Hi,
my current firmware is V4.3.4.8_1.9.53. It's the same on router and satellites.
My current router and ISP have nothing to do with this problem, so I will leave this information out.
The satellite is between 10 and 12m away from the router. As I said, until shortly it worked fine.
Switching the satellite positions does not make any difference. It's still the same one making the problem.
Switching the 2.4GHz channels does not make a difference at all. There is one other wifi around, but mine is on a different channel, so no interference here.
The 5GHz channel cabbot be changed afaik on the RBR350 and is fixed.
As I see this, it has nothing to do with connectivity but with random restarting of the satellite. To me it sounds like a hardware/firmware defect.

You'll need to contact NG support for help and information about the one RBS. Maybe faulty. Something to ask a RMA about.
Good luck.
