Reporting back after some days of testing firmware 4.6.7.13 with my RBR850+RBS850 with Ethernet backhaul, running in AP mode with 1Gbit/sync fiber over Fritz!Box Modem. I presume the RBR and RBS were powered OFF for 1 minute then back ON after v.13 was applied or maybe was factory reset?
Generally I can say the switching to pink every 24h is history, the whole network is way more stable now. đ
Nonetheless, Iâm facing random complete WiFi dropouts, causing the entire network to be inaccessible for some minutes, even wired devices. Sometimes only restarting the Satellite is helping.
If the satellite is off, everything is perfectly stable, so I have to assume itâs the combo of AP and satellite that make the WiFi break down.
What is the distance between the router and đĄ satellite(s)?
Is the RBS directly connected to the back of the RBR or is there a wall jack or LAN switch in between them?
Does this still happen if the RBS is wirelessly connected instead of wired?
20/40Ghz coexistence is off, but that didnât solve much. The logs are absolutely useless and donât contain anything.
What channels are you using? Auto?
I would need help to get this fixed đ
My Setup: ISP: Deutsche Glasfaser, Fiber (1GBit/s Sync), Router: Fritz!Box 5530RE, RBR850 + RBS850 (RBK853) in AP mode, Cat7 Ethernet Backhaul
I did a full factory reset after installing the firmware update.
The Backhaul is wired directly, no switch or wall socket in between.
Distance between the two devices is approx 10m, separated by a concrete floor and a few doors.
Running the satellite on wireless Backhaul shows only a âpoorâ connection to the AP, thatâs why I have refrained from that. Connected devices had a hard time to stay connected to the network.

And you do have the host routers wifi disabled..
When the RBS was wireless did you see this same problem at the RBR other than the poor connection?
Is this LAN cable between the RBR and RBS running thru the home walls or external cable?
I'd be curious if you changed the RBRs transmit from 100% to 50% and see if same thing happens.
- Host Router WiFi is disabled, yes. Also tried leaving it on, makes no difference.
As for the wireless Backhaul causing the same issues, I would have to try again as that was before the update.
The LAN cable is running external, in a separate cable channel.
Will check reducing the transmit power to 50% and see if this would repeat then. Maybe the top floor wouldnât be properly covered anymore, though. The second satellite might not get enough wireless Backhaul signal to make that up.Do you have two RBS?
Can you make a drawing or diagram of your home lay out and where the RBR and RBS are located?
