RBR750 / RBS750 AP MODE NOT ACHIEVING STABLE WIRELESS BACKHAUL
I searched for a solution for this to no avail. I have tried all firmwares 4.6.3.7 and above. If i switch to AP mode they never get a stable wireless BACKHAUL. I have tried varying distan...
Make sure when you downgrade, that the system doesn't auto update. The system will update if it's not blocked.
Some you'll need to contact NG support about.
Just for info: My RBR50 also runs in AP-mode with 3 RBSs at latest firmware. No issues so far. Furry is not the only one :-)
But my RBSs do a resync a few times a day, but internet connection is stable while this process. This behavior only exists with firmware 4.xxx
--"But my RBSs do a resync a few times a day..."
lol...
I rest my case. I do not know of a single instance of V4 firmware working correctly and stable in AP mode wirelessly.
I am guessing you probably had to do a special ip range setup for the DHCP or jumped through a few hoops...??
A product must simply worked as advertised, with no compliations or special to follow instructions.
RBR750 simply DOES NOT WORK IN AP MODE on V4 firmware.
But further on my point, it is IRRESPONSIBLE AND NOT PROFESSIONAL to make the product automatically update to a point of no return to a firmware full of bugs.
AP mode is just not the only bug.
Makes you wonder how or who tested the V4 firmware for them....
You do not have to laugh :-) The crazy thing is that my devices, which are connected to the respective satellite during the resynch, do not lose the connection to the satellite and also have an internet connection throughout. I have had this recorded by several programs for 24 hours. So a very strange behavior of the firmware 4.XXX
Yeah. Laughing at Netgear is probably not the right response.
They should be sued, force to recall V4 firmware or all RBR750s, and replace them with something that works.
You are just describing another bug of V4 firmware and how it does not work correctly.
I have my setup identical on V3 and V4. In v4 it does not work, and in V3 it works.
That means my setup is wrong?
No.
That means V4 firmware is wrong.
Have you tried your setup on V3?
The correct thing to do is have a sticky on THIS FORUM, that helps users to downgrade to V3.
It is far easier to downgrade to V3 than to try and live with the V4 bugs and problems.
Just curious, do ALL your RBS resync all at the same time or randomly?
I only have 1 RBS and haven't seen this with mine. Would be interesting to know if you turn OFF all but 1 RBS, still happens?
Your system been fully factory reset and setup from scratch?

FURRYe38 As you probably read here most of us having satellite disconnect issues it's always random, one of the satellites at a time. Also, what's the point in turning OFF all but 1 satellite?? I need all the satellites for coverage otherwise the system is useless!
If you're trying to troubleshoot the issue, please feel free to buy an additional RBS and help NG troubleshoot the issue. It seems you like them so much anyway.
Another point here: stop asking people to reset their system and reconfigure everything. When you pay this much on a system it should just at a push of a button. What you and NG are doing in equivalent of a car manufacturer asking me to reset a car's system in order to try to make it work properly. Instead you should ask your friends/colleagues at NG to work harder and come up with a firmware that actually works!
