When it happens i just see that internet stops working on computers, iphone or tv. No pink lights, no lights at all.
I bought the best cables I could found. what you wrote.
Switch is Netgear GS108E 8-Port Gigabit Plus Switch v3.
RBS is not connected via ethernet. Only wifi.
My home is 2421sq ft
Distance is almost 15 ft
2,4 channel is now 12. I have tryed a few different. those you suggested.

Switch is Netgear GS108E 8-Port Gigabit Plus Switch v3. Can you disconnect this switch temporarily and see if this changes anything?

Distance is almost 15 ft <Distance between the RBR and RBS is too close. 30 feet is starting distance. Please move the RBS out farther. You might try also turning OFF the RBS and just test with the RBR alone to see if the problem continues.

Also enable SIP ALG under Advanced tab/Setup/WAN Setup.

Hi again. I have unplugged the switch. Ethernet cable from fiber box in the RBR. Still the same As I wrote on my first message I unplugged and turned of RBS, no change. SIP ALG is enabled. Today it happens a lot and I see the speed when I check when offline goes from 700mb to 2.5gb. I have 500/500 from Bredband2. Everytime it disconnects and log me out from my games. And teams stop working. All wifi stops on phone and apple tv´s. I do think it is the RBR that mess it up. Either hardware or software. I have 2 pc´s in my office/computer room. When i connect for example Pc1 to fiber box and Pc2 to RBR Pc1 has full internet access when RBR loosing connection and Pc2 has no acess, phones no acess via wifi, no tv. If I turn off wifi on my iphone it works fine with 4G. The main problem must be RBR. But I can´t figure it out. I am working no till thursday. On friday I will use my old Asus mesh again to see what will happen.

Would you set up email logging and let us know if this changes the behavior any?
