    So after moving the router around the room like crazy and having no succes finding a sweet spot where the lamp dosen't interfere, I went online to search for possible isolation materials for Radio Frecuencies. Found out that alumium was one of them. So I when to the kitchen got a roll of aluminum foil and cover the lamp power supply and the proximity sensor with two sheets of foil. I made a really small hole to expose the controller reciver eye. Turned the light on and problem solved. No more dropping backhaul connection. I know its not the most ideal solution but it gets the job done until I find a new lamp that I like. Hope this helps.

    Let us know of that works or moving the RBS around as well. Seems to be issues with these LED lamps causing problems of there own.

    Wow, thats interesting. Didn't think a LED lamp would cause this problem. What is the mfr and model of this lamp? 



    Interesting fact. I have the same lamp in the room where the satellite is and I have no issues on that end. Maybe I got a defective lamp or it got damaged through time. I’ll report back once I replace it.
