RBKE963 Satellite Drops Internet every 8-10 Mins
Hello, I have the RBKE963 and have my Router 40' from my Satellite 1 and then my Satellite 2 is 90' from Satellite 1 in a straight line to my shed each sitting on a window sill. In the house I am getting 500Meg and in shed I'm getting 200Meg and am very happy with that. However, every 8-10 minutes it drops for 15 seconds and reconnects on its own. My Sat 2 says backhaul poor. Is there something I can do easily to improve this or isn't that the problem why it's dropping? Be easy on me I'm not that smart!

90 feet maybe too far in distance for the remote RBS to keep and maintain a connection with a 1st RBS. You'll need to move the remote RBS closer. Or find a way to install some CAT6A STP cabling from the home building out to this shed building.
