RBR860 intermittent disconnects
I have had this Router plus 1 satellite since March 2023. It is connected to Hitron EN2251 modem from Spectrum. The router and modem are plugged directly into the wall plug. Both sit in the open and ...
You should change the SSID name to something different.
I'll change it if I ever figure out the issue.
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
No it wasn't enabled, now it is.
Also might disable all logging on the RBR and see if this changes anything.
Couldn't find the setting when I logged in.
Be sure to use a good quality LAN cable between the ISP Modem and RBR. CAT6A STP is recommended.
I have a CAT 6 but the CAT6A STP is not shown on the side if the cable.
Something you can try, manually re-load FW on to the system, RBS first, then RBR lastly. Seen odd problems and users posting about there systems not working well after a auto update. Manually loading FW with a ethernet connected PC and web browser seems to have better results. Something I always do with my Orbi systems.

I have the latest version, nothing newer on the Download Firmware site.
Does the RBS have good connection while in the garage and system is working? If not, maybe move the RBS a bit closer to the RBR.
Yes, it is a strong signal. Phones usually connect to the satellite when we are outdoors. We have a gazabo that we stream TV services, from that Sat too. No issues.
Ok.
If your ISP doesn't support IPv6 natively, then you keep this disabled.
STP differs from UTP.
Thats fine, re-download the v.15 FW files and apply them to the RBS first then RBR lastly using the linked process.
Ok.
Yes my ISP supports IPv6.
Here is a screenshot of the LAN cable, sorry I'm not a wire geek, let me know.
I'll update the router and satellite later.
Ok, if you noticed odd issues on the IPv6 level, disable IPv6 on the RBR. Others reporting having problems with IPv6 on this version of FW>
Thats UTP cable then.

Also check the Uptime seen on the WAN port on the RBRs web page under Advanced Tab/Show Stats and compare this to the system uptime seen on the router IP address/debug.htm page.
