RBR750 primary wireless not working
I have an RBR750 with 2 satellites (one wired backhaul, one wireless backhaul) and every month or so I need to do a complete reset of my router system. I notice that the primary network wireless will...
No, still have the two corners of the house where signals drop. This is where I placed my satellites but even though I'm sitting next to the satellite it will still try to connect back to the router 95% of the time. When the iphone connected to the RBR, the signal appears decent (500-700mbps on speedtests) but is not a stable connection it appears. I can't figure out why it won't just connect to the satellite even though I'm sitting next to it.
I'm not entirely sure it's due to poor wifi signal or DHCP having issues again. This has been happening before I setup a separate router for DHCP server. When the wifi symbol disappears on my iphone and becomes LTE, the iphone is still trying to establish a connection to the wifi and the IP address is again something random such as 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.
It's mostly up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too. We can't change that.
Have you disable AX mode on 2.4 and 5Ghz?
Is CTS at 2347?
What are the distances between the RBR and RBS currently?
Do you have the power at 25% on the RBR?
How many RBS do you have deployed currently?
1. I have not disabled AX mode on 2.4 or 5ghz. I thought we should leave it on for faster connections?
2. CTS is 500 for the 2.4ghz (so that some older devices can connect). 64 for 5ghz. I thought lower is better?
3. Distances between RBR and RBS is more than 30 feet on the first floor and 30 feet on the second floor.
4. I've tried changing the 2.4ghz and 5ghz to 25% and still have the same issue. I cannot individually change the RBR and RBS wireless power.
5. 2 RBS, both wireless backhaul.

2. CTS is 500 for the 2.4ghz (so that some older devices can connect). 64 for 5ghz. I thought lower is better? Both should be same value. Set both for 64. CTS values are to help with wifi collisions between RBR, RBS and devices only.

4. I've tried changing the 2.4ghz and 5ghz to 25% and still have the same issue. I cannot individually change the RBR and RBS wireless power. Turn up the power to 50 % after turning OFF one RBS.
5. 2 RBS, both wireless backhaul. Lets turn OFF one RBS for now.
