Devices connecting to router only - RBK753
I have a number of smart home devices (Ring, Google Home, Smart Energy Meter, etc.) that even though the satellite is literally just next to them (< 5 feet), they are connecting to the router, which ...
I noticed the same thing after the update to 4.6.3.16. The satellites (wired) lose connection for a few seconds with the router and consequently also all the devices connected to it. Sometimes, the satellites take a little longer to resurrect... And the disconnected devices in the meantime would all connect to the router (if close enough). After a few satellite disconnections, all devices had migrated to the router.
My temporary solution... I have downgraded to V3.2.18.1_1.4.14 waiting for a firmware fix.
