Distance is not the issue. I have tried 10 ft, 20 ft, 30, ft, 40 ft, 50 ft, 60 ft, 70 ft, 80 ft, 90 ft, 100ft.
Once it pairs and connects wirelessly correctly, if I switch to AP mode, it stops working.
AP mode is not working for a wireless backhaul.
I monitor the connection via pings, and it seems there is a bug within ORBI wireless backhaul that disconnect itself every 20 or 30 seconds.
The old RBR50 and RBS50 worked perfect on same locations.
But again, locations are not the issue.
How do I get a replacement for something that actually works?

Are you using Dynamic or static IP address configuration on the RBR in AP mode?
Did you first turn OFF the RBS, then configure AP mode, wait for the RBR to connect using it's WAN port to the host router, then after the RBR is FULLY online, turn ON one RBS at a time?
My 7 series working in AP Mode with the RBS wireslessly connected.
