Re: I bought a package from Amazon that included the RBR750 router and the RBS350 satellites
I bought a package from Amazon that included the RBR750 router and the RBS350 satellites. It does not perform well per the reasons listed in other posts. I considered buying two RBS750 satellites but...
Although chewing on lead has a certain cachet, I agree with FURRYe38 that upgrading to the most recent firmware shown on the RBK653 Download site is probably a useful step. Who knows? It might solve the problem.
I just updated the RBS350 satellites to the same FW ver that the RBR750 router has. I now see the backhaul status as Good for both where before they would toggle out of sync. The one that is furthest away is using 2.4GHz which I assume is to be expected. Thank you both for the help!!
Good to hear. Glad you got it working. Please keep in mind about the FW versions between the 350 and 750. You'll need to keep this at the same level for the 650 series kit. v7 FW is not compatible.
Farther distances will connect to 2.4Ghz.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
