RBR760 and RBS760 unstable satellite connection
I currently have 3 RBR760s and 6 RBS760s. RBR760 Master (main router set to DHCP) RBS760 Timmy Bedroom (connected to Master's LAN port via 5 port switch) RBS760 Timmy Living Room (connected to Mas...
Linked is a great photo of the success after numerous attempts to finding a solution to this network stability issue. This is what I did to find success in providing the greatest range of coverage along with speed.
- I initially started with 9 units
3 RBR760s and 6 RBS760s
I struggled to get the configurations working with 2 of the RBRs set to access point mode, so I gave up on that idea, this caused me many different failures as I daisy chained, star networked, and tried many different configurations with this cause I wanted maximum coverage using 9 units.
I now only use 1 RBR760 set to DHCP distributing IPs, hard lined 2 of the 6 satellites via super long CAT6 ethernet cord to opposite corners of the estate with the main router in the center of the estate, then wirelessly synced the remaining 4 of 6 satellites to the main router and spread them throughout the other corners of the estate. Totaling 7 devices out of the original 9 purchased for this project. I really wish that there was firmware that allowed an unlimited number of attached devices, it blew my mind that even hard lined RBR760s were considered "satellites".
Thank you to Furry for helping me! Appreciate all the help sir.

Glad you finally got it all working.
I feel that having the additional RBRs in AP mode was making things confusing for the system.Also good to know that this new configuration works with that many RBS.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
