RBK863S keeps dropping signal from ethernet connection
My router keeps dropping the internet connection. It's connected via an ethernet cable, so I don't think it's the signal. I notice that when I turn off one of the satellites that the signal doesn't drop. Do I have the satellites too close to each other?
