RBR750 / RBS750 AP MODE NOT ACHIEVING STABLE WIRELESS BACKHAUL
I searched for a solution for this to no avail. I have tried all firmwares 4.6.3.7 and above. If i switch to AP mode they never get a stable wireless BACKHAUL. I have tried varying distan...
--"But my RBSs do a resync a few times a day..."
lol...
I rest my case. I do not know of a single instance of V4 firmware working correctly and stable in AP mode wirelessly.
I am guessing you probably had to do a special ip range setup for the DHCP or jumped through a few hoops...??
A product must simply worked as advertised, with no compliations or special to follow instructions.
RBR750 simply DOES NOT WORK IN AP MODE on V4 firmware.
But further on my point, it is IRRESPONSIBLE AND NOT PROFESSIONAL to make the product automatically update to a point of no return to a firmware full of bugs.
AP mode is just not the only bug.
Makes you wonder how or who tested the V4 firmware for them....
You do not have to laugh :-) The crazy thing is that my devices, which are connected to the respective satellite during the resynch, do not lose the connection to the satellite and also have an internet connection throughout. I have had this recorded by several programs for 24 hours. So a very strange behavior of the firmware 4.XXX
Yeah. Laughing at Netgear is probably not the right response.
They should be sued, force to recall V4 firmware or all RBR750s, and replace them with something that works.
You are just describing another bug of V4 firmware and how it does not work correctly.
I have my setup identical on V3 and V4. In v4 it does not work, and in V3 it works.
That means my setup is wrong?
No.
That means V4 firmware is wrong.
Have you tried your setup on V3?
The correct thing to do is have a sticky on THIS FORUM, that helps users to downgrade to V3.
It is far easier to downgrade to V3 than to try and live with the V4 bugs and problems.
