RBR760 recurring issues
I've got an RBR760 that is set up in bridge mode, behind the router of my internet provider (IP). The IP router is handling everything DNS and DHCP related while the RBR760 (together with a satellit...
We presume you mean AP mode as the RBR doesn't have a Bridge mode.
How often does this happen on the RBR?
Does the RBRs front LED turn PINK or white when this happens?
How is the RBR connected to the ISP router? WAN port on the RBR to the LAN port on the ISP router is required.
How is AP mode configured on the RBR? Dynamic or static IP address for AP mode?
What channels are set on the RBR? Try 1 and 40 or 11 and 48?
What is the distance between the RBR and RBS? 30 feet is starting distance.
Is the ISP routers wifi radios disabled?
- I mean AP mode, yes
- Lets say somewhere between 3 weeks and 3 months before it goes haywire again
- I havent seen the LED light up during issues, but the RBR is not always in my direct view. Maybe it reboots but I haven't seen it do it myself.
- Yes WAN on the RBR to LAN on the ISP router
- Dynamic adressing, but the RBR usually receives the same address from the ISP router
- Cannot check because it currently malfunctions and apparently needs a factory reset again. However I do not think it is a Wifi issue.
- About 15 feet, but there's a concrete floor and a staircase in between. No line of sight but connection is strong enough to use the 5Ghz backhaul.
- Wifi on the ISP router is disabled.
