This will be problematic for the controller if it's in between the RBR and RBS and the distance is about the same from the controller to the RBR or RBS. You'll need to move the RBS closer to the RBS then turn down the RBRs transmit power in hopes that the controller connects to the RBS. Again this is a controller issue with it handling different signals and preferring to connect to the RBS.
Why has it worked for all this time and then after a firmware update its now a problem?
Another possibility is that the RBS is not in a good state. Thus something on the RBS maybe wrong. A full re-load of the RBS firmware, factory reset, remove the RBS from the RBS web page and setup and resync of the RBS while in same room may help with this, then place back in remote location.
Already tried this.
Why not revert back to FW that was working for you as well.
I mentioned that as well.
Can you draw up a floor diagram of where you have the RBR, RBS and these controllers at and give the distances?
Already gave approximate distances in previous post.
How big is your home? Sq Ft?
Approximately 2000 SqFt.
I've given up on the issue. I've lost way too much time in my life on this. It's extremely frustrating to pay the kind of money that is being charged for these devices to have the amount of problems they do. Look at this entire forum its all about problems that people are having with these devices. I surely don't see many positive posts regarding these products.
For now I've decommissioned the satellite and am only running the router.
I am curious about one other thing:
What does Netgear give you that you defend them so much?
And again I reiterate how can you trust what's being released when they can't even catch a blatant bug in the app with a totally missing device icon. It probably does't affect functionality but it sure doesn't promote confidence in their abilites.
Like most forums, people usually post when requiring help or are having problems. Rare to go to a forum where people are posting just to say "hey, all is well". Its like going to a hospital and saying "why is it always full of sick people".
So just to add my Nest Gen 3 has been fine with the RBK752 on this firmware and past beta firmware.
I haven't posted recently but I have been reading some of the replies where people have had certain problems, with updating the firmware, and I feel for the OP because literally people just do not read instructions. They then complain. Then guess what, when following the steps properly it works. So frustrating to see.
