Another saga to relate today. Nothing seemed to be working this morning, but after some investigation it turned out to be only the satellites. Both were disconnected from the RBR, although the RBR wireless was working fine. My satellite troubleshooting efforts were thwarted by being unable to log into the router web interface. Turns out my Brother wireless printer decided it loved the IP address for the RBR (...1.1) and refused to relinquish it. I finally forced a different IP address into the printer. The satellites (two in total, one about 30 feet from the RBR, the other about 65-70 feet from the router and maybe 18 to 20 feet from the first router) would not reset with simple power off/on and sync attempts. A couple of factory resets and more syncs finally got the RBR and satellites singing in 3-part harmony. The system has been stable now for roughly 5 hours.
Stay tuned.

Let turn OFF one RBS and monitor and observe please.
- MojoGeneNov 08, 2025Guide
OK, the RBS in the middle is off. I'll observe and report.

Perfectly stable at this point. (Only one RBS in operation.) Twenty-seven hours and counting.
Thanks once again for all the help!

Ok Good to hear. Seems like some of this was too much WIFI.
Lets give it 3 days and return to let us know results.
Thank you.
