Hi!
Actually, I have one last question for you, because now that I think of it, it's not clear on my part:
Does the second RBS satellite communicates with the first RBS satellite? Or does it communicate only with the RBR?

For backhaul, depending of the RBS is in star formation, the RBS would connect to the RBR. If the RBR and RBS are in a daisy chain configuration, then the RBS would connect to the nearest RBS that is closer to the RBR.
When you give the power line adapter configuration a try, then the RBS wil connect to the RBR if you connect the PL adapter behind the RBR and then the other adapter to the RBS.

maxpuissant: Before you connect the RBS to the adapter, you should first connect your laptop and run a speedtest. It's important to use the same outlet pair for the adapter that you plan to use with the RBS.
