What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I found that if the RBS are to far away from the RBR, this can effect how the FW is detected or being reported from the RBS to the RBR.
What does the FW version say if you log into the RBS web pages?

Checked basics, and it says the FW is up to date but I read that there is a later version.
As you can see in the pic above, it says FW up to date on router & sat 1 but I read 4.6.8.5 is latest. Then for sat 2, 3 and 4 it makes no reference.
Bit confused here. Anyone have any steer if I need update and how best to do. I have some other config issues to fix and ask on the RBR 850 but thought best get to latest FW first.
