RBR850 needs weekly restart
I purchased an RBR850 that came with a satellite RBS850 about a year ago and didn’t really have any issues with it. A few months ago I added another satellite RBS850 and that’s when I started to see i...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
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.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
My firmware is V3.2.16.22 and I have not done any factory resets to the system other than making sure all devices are on the same firmare. My IPV6 was already disabled and my channels where 1 and 44. I changed them to 6 and 48 to see if that helps. The 20/40 coexistence does not allow me to select one only. Only on or off so I turned it off to see if that helps.
- I also set both to short preamble. We’ll see if it helps. Sick of turning off/on my modem and router every 3-4 days.
Checking the 20.40Mhz box sets 40Mhz only.
Let us know.
