RBR850 not connecting RBS750 Satellite after switching to AP Mode
I purchased my RBR850 with 2 satellites and they work great. I purchased RBS750 for my son's room and worked great until yesterday. My RBR850 router function drops the connection from the internet every 2-3 days and needed to be restarted accordingly. I replaced my router and put thr RBR850 into AP mode. The RBS750 has been synching wirelessly but now will not. I have even tried to move it about 3 feet and also have connected via wired backhaul. I have done a factory reset and the 30-30-30 reset. I am having no luck. Can anyone assist? All my other satellites are wired and work fine. Thanks
SOLVED:
After updating all, I started reading a little more. I saw folks using a pfSense router which I was as well. One common denominator was making sure even though this was in AP mode, I still had to hook the WAN line from pfSense to the RBR850. Once I did this, I rebooted the RBR850 and was able to connect the RBS750 both wired and wirelessly.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
- As far as I know the latest. I ran a firmware update prior to moving to AP mode and everything said it was up to date. I currently can’t login to see if as it’s not connecting.
Need to check to make sure the RBS750 is on same version of FW.
Can you connect the RBS750 to the back of the RBRs LAN port using a LAN cable to see if it connects?
Turn OFF the other RBS's while working with the 750 RBS.
