RBR750 WiFi 6 Mesh - Switches From Ethernet to WiFi and Back Several Times A Day
I have an ethernet going from the router (RBR753 - 750 and two satellites) to my laptop, and all had been fine for a while. Now, in the last 2 day, it's constantly dropping the ethernet and goes to WiFi - then back to ethernet almost immediately. It's an issue, but more of a major annoyance than anything.
Anyone else have any insight to this? Happening to anyone else? Firmware is up to date.
Thanks...

Hi!
No LAN switch in-between, using CAT7 cables.
But I think I have resolved it. The cable going from the router to my laptop - I don't think it was connected "100%" to the laptop - only "partially" (wasn't "clicked in") - removed it and redid it, and so far, no hiccups.
Thanks!

Are the RBS directly ethernet connected to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between.
Besure your using good quality LAN cables, CAT6 is recommended.

Glad that was all.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
