iPhone 15 and 16. One on iOS 26, other on 18,6.
Two different ATV, both on 26.
MacBook Pro 2024 on Tahoe.updated manually. RBRE first. Then RBSE. Continue to use. Haven’t turned off.
6ghz enable.RBS should be updated first, then the RBR lastly.
Disable the separate 6Ghz network. 6Ghz is already running on the main WLAN with 2.4 and 5Ghz.
Power cylce the system OFF for 1 minute, RBS off first, then RBR, then back ON with the RBR then RBS.
I've just updated my system to v.5 FW, RBS first, RBR lastly then power cycled the system OFF then back ON. Will monitor.
Both RBS are ethernet connected to a XS505M switch behind the RBR.
Using manual channels 1 and 40 and 37.
I just got a iphone 17 in house so will check this along with other Apple devices I have.
