What CAT# lan cable are you using between the RBR and RBS? CAT6 is recommended.

I have noticed that one of them occasionally shows nothing under "connected Orbi". The wifi on this satellite works fine and I am not sure if it is an issue or not. If I reboot the satellite or disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable, it will show up as Connected to Orbi Router.

Thanks for the replies.

FW V4.6.5.14 on all of them

 

It's Cat 5 - its run in the walls so I cannot change this.

    Have you updated FW? 

    Remember CAT5 isn't recommended and is not officially supporting of 1000Mbps. CAT6 is recommended. CAT5 could be causing this odd issue. Something that FW may not help fully resolve.
