Hi plemans,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Are you saying that we CAN expect issues where RBS #2 only connects wirelessly to RBS #1?
Our testing last night was working, suddenly stopped for a while, then re-connected.

Tough to know. It can switch between the 2 as needed based on its own algorithm.
It might work perfectly fine.

Thanks again 🙂
Already we have had issues.
Disconnected the RBS #2 now and will try to use only RBS #1 from the floor above.
If that become stable, my 'kind-of' conclusion will be that we should use a cable from RBS #1 -> RBS #2.
I'll keep you updated!

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
