RBR850 on 4.6.7.5 firmware wifi download isssue

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 Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Have you powered OFF the ISP Modem, RBR and RBS for 1 minute or longer then back ON?
Try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch...
RBS and RBR are connected by ethernet.
Its a 1500 square foot house over 2 floors. This system is overkill for the square footage. I've already done the tweaking on channels with no change. I guess next step is do a reset. If that fails....this system heading to the recyle bin.What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Ya for 1500 sq ft, just the RBR alone is enough. Maybe 1 RBS at 30 feet or more. You maybe over saturating with having two RBS online which will cause problems. I would turn OFF BOTH RBS and test the system out with just the RBR. Then add 1 RBS after testing.
Is the RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a LAN switch or patch panel in between the RBR and RBS?My ISP modem is an Arris, and my connection to my home network is a static IP Address and the device shows the connection as bridged.
I have one device covering the basement, 2nd device covers the main floor. They are offset on the floor plan. If you are on the main floor you will actually hit the RBS as your connection device. It is a direct wired connection to satellite. As i stated before, connecting an ethernet to the RBR ..full bandwidth. If i shut down the RBS and have just the RBR running....still max is 500 Mbps upload and mid 400s Mbps download. I just reset it.....appears to be slower. I'm 6 feet from the RBR. :-(
