Have you factory reset the RBR and powered both RBR and RBS off for 1 hour then back ON and setup the system from scratch with a wired PC and web browser using the setup wizard at 192.168.1.1? Setup the RBS in the same room as the RBR and sync them until the BLUE LED turns ON the the RBS and wait for the front LED to turn OFF.
Please the RBS at a distance of 30 feet for more. 12 feet is too close to the RBR.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Hi Furry, thank you for your help. I have factory reset the router a few times already but not after this issue. I ended up drilling a bunch of holes in my house and just wired it. Like I said I bought this system thinking it could pass one floor in my house when placing the satelite right above the router but I was wrong. Also the second satelite now shows poor reception and it is only two rooms away. This system is probably designed for houses in the US made of wood but not for houses with brick and concrete.

Ya brick and concrete will impact wifi signal for any wifi router.
