RBR850/RBS850 4.6.3.9 Firmware problem
RBR850 in AP mode
After updating to 4.6.3.9 (rbr850 and rbs850 s) lost CONNECTION (wireless) to my two satellites (RBS850). Tried wired (backbone), works. Switched to router mode all fine (wireless and wired)
Also when in AP mode, when RBR850 is connected to the main router (pfsense) via the internet port, it gets into a loop of dropping the wifi (RBR850 WIFI appears for 15 sec then drops and then appears and drops and so on)
When the router is plugged in any other Lan port of RBR850, wifi of RBR850 is stable.
Tried factory reset, fixed ip, ax off, daysaving off, metered off, in all combinations)
Also sync in router mode and fixing the addresses of all 3 to what they are in ap mode. This seemed to work for 5min and then lost connection to satellites. (always with router going in to lan port of rbr850 not internet port as this drops wifi)

I have this problem too. I couldn't log in the fiber modem. But I could log on the rbr850 and rbs850. After several minutes, then it is ok. Then after a certain time, it fails again.
- Thanks to furynutz over at reddit I managed to revert to a previous firmware.

- As for the auto update, my rbr850 is on AP mode behind a pfsense router and I have blocked internet access to the rbr850
Good it works.
Channel correction. 11 and 48 on the RBR.
Update: My RBS850s seems to be reproducing this boot loop issue. I'm seen 1 RBS that i'm in sight of reboot after about 3-5 minutes with BLUE front LED on, then it goes OFF for a few seconds then turns back ON and pulsates WHITE for about 20 secones then back to BLUE.
Going to factory reset tomorrow and re-check this.
When you do the reset try a 30-30-30 and see if it doesn't "set" the FW better? That's what I did for my reset in .223. I have left things.
So your on v223 currently in AP mode?

Same exact problem!
