rbk753 (4200) Satellites dropping connection from Router.
Hi guys! I recently purchased an rbk753 to replace my old rbk53. I have place the router and satellites at the same spots that I had my previous system in which it worked grate. Constant backhaul of ...

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.

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.

Update:
So I kept troubleshooting around the house to understand what was causing my backhaul to drop. I narrow it down to the thing that we use the most at night, since it was at night time that most of my issues occurred. Turns out that it was a ceiling led lamp that I bough of costco who was causing the interference. The lamp is located in the same room as the router and every time I switch the light on my satellites turned magenta. I hope this helps.
