Success! Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure what the solution was? I ended up unplugging all the RBS(s) and plugging in one at a time. Reset the wifi settings on the grill and it worked. It is now connected to the RBS instead of the RBR. Appreciate the suggestions and assistance.

Can you check the status of each RBS by logging into there web pages using the IP address assigned to them on the RBRs web page. Check to see if all report the same status and connenction with the RBR. All should report having GOOD connections and Security should be all WPA2-AES.
Using any kind of special characters on your main password for the wireless?
You might turn OFF all RBS and then swap in each RBS thats near the device to check to see if will connect to any of the RBS.
Might turn OFF AX mode on the RBR for 2.4Ghz only, apply the setting and reboot the RBR and power cycle the RBS then try.
Possible something in the devices drivers would need to be looked at by the mfr.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves tine if a reset is needed.
