RBS850 V4.6.3.16_2.0.51 WIFI disconnects
Struggling with a new RBR/S850 setup on V4.6.3.16_2.0.51. 2nd set of devices as I returned the 1st ones. The RBS is about 80+ feet, 2 exterior walls and 1 floor apart - hard wired to the RBR. Symptom...
With that much distance, you can use full 100% power. Especially since the satellite hardwired in.
Have you tried the newer firmware? Its had pretty good reviews.
I've tried 4.6.7.5 with the first set and had simliar issues. Waiting for them to pick up this case before I mess with hardware. Been dropping all day today.
Have you factory reset the RBS and RBR and setup from scratch after v5 FW was applied?
Are the RBS directly ethernet connected to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between?
What CAT# cabling is being used for the ethernet connected RBS?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Factory reset? - Not on the new set, 2 days old, just with firmware update and restarted using the app.
RBS is hardwired to the RBR with cat6 directly. Cat6 used in all connections.
Auto for 2.4ghz and 48 for the 5ghz.
Some neighbors with wifi, closest is over 300ft away.
