RBR850 Satellite connection issues again
So late last night before I went to bed I noticed now the 3rd floor RBS had no WiFi connections! So this morning I researched it - as all the devices seemed to be happy. In short, **this time*...

Certainly odd behavior with your RBS as of late.
CAT# cabling is?
Can you set the RBR for 50%?
If this happens again, another thing to test for a few days or so, let the RBS connected wirelessly and check for these same behaviors. RBR set to 100%. Just disconnect the ethernet cable and they will auto wirelessly sync.

cabling is Cat 6A modem -> router.
Will do!

What's the CAT# cabling between the RBR, Switches and RBS?

RBR and switches is 6A. RBss and switches is 5e as it is older and runs through the walls.
One more update - all Wifi working great, BUT Orbi and Attached Devices on router web page are nuts. Just looking at Attached devices, it has all of these as WIRED - iPhone, 2 Macs, 1 Dell Windows PC, 1 Homepod; and my iPad is not showing at all. The 3rd floor RBS has nothing connected, yet WiFi is working great up there - 1 Mac just got 700 Mbps in the speed test. So my conclusion is for this issue, everything is connecting fine, but the NG reporting across the board is NUTS.
