RBS850 satellites lose internet and gateway connectivity several times per day

Have you swapped locations with your RBS? 

Factory reset the RBR and RBS? 

I would make contact with NG support about your RBS. Possible your 1 RBS has become faulty. Mine are working fine in router mode and wire connected.

So I tried removing my reserved IP addresses for my RBS satellites, but my one satellite still disconnects from the internet within a few hours (along with all the devices connected to it).  Did Netgear give you any other workaround instructions?

 

I tried putting my RBR850 into AP mode and falling back to my Comcast router/modem. It worked fine for a day but then the next work day I had many, many internet outage occurences for all my devices (not just the ones connected to the one satellite).  I was never able to determine exactly what was going on.  I thought it was Comcast because I wired a laptop directly to the modem and also tried hanging another router off of the modem, but then discovered that everything started working again as soon as I disconnected one of the ethernet cables from the modem.  Maybe it's some local routing issue or conflict, but this was beyond my expertise.

 

I put my RBS850 back into router mode because I needed a working network and could handle the small number of IoT devices connected to the one satellite losing connection as long as my work computer retained connectivity.  I even left my Comcast modem out of bridge mode, i.e., I have Double NAT now, but it didn't make a difference and my one satellite still loses connectivity several times a day.  I guess I'll wait for a new firmware version and hope for a fix.  Again, it's strange that my Orbi AX system has worked pretty well since March and this disconnecting satellite problem started happening just a couple weeks ago.
