Didnt help with new firmware. Attached screen photo. Device "Entre" is connect with cable to RBRE but still uses WiFi. Even with poor backhaul status.
Might turn OFF the other two RBS and bring the one RBS to same room as the RBR and ethernet connect the RBR directly behind the RBR and see if the status will change to WIRED. IF it does, you will need to check into the cabling issue between the remote location where the RBS normally is placed and all cable lines in between there and the RBR.
Without having changed anything, the RBS has now connected to the RBR via cable. I’ll have to keep monitoring this.
Also something else to test, swap this one RBS with another RBS and see if you notice this again at this location or if the problem follows the RBS.
What does the Network Map look like now? Is the map and RBS connection path to your expectations?
