Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellite(s) been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

The system is working, so I'm not overly concerned, just curious.
How many RBS are deployed? 1 Router and 2 Satellites
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? 5,100 Sq. Ft.
What is the distance between the router About 40 feet between the router and the satellite that shows it is hard wired (but it is not) and about 6- feet from the router to the satellite that shows it is wired. (a number of walls are between both satellites and the router)Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellite(s) been performed since last update? Yes
