RBE971 Router and 6 RBE970 satellites
I have the same issue with my RBE971 Router and 6 RBE970 satellites. After first time set up all 6 satellites and 35 connected devices were all nicely connected. Then in the middle of the night I los...
It would be helpful to have link to information about issues with more than four satellites. The official documentation is a bit ambiguous.

In this specific system, all six satellites are 'wired'.
It is not clear (to me) what the current status is. From two messages posted today (Dec 31)
I decided to restart my PC and keep the Wi-Fi disabled. To my surprise all satellites correctly show "Wired" and status "Good". On top of it all my attached devices are now properly displayed in the network map.
and then more recently:
Presently, I still have excellent coverage with 1 gigabit speeds from the router and each satellite, but 10 of my connected devices (all online) and all 6 satellites show as disconnected.
So is the issue
- When the router is rebooted (but the satellites are not rebooted), it takes a significant amount of time for the system to stabilize, but once it does then things are "good"? or
- The system will spontaneously go from "all good" to devices and satellites being reported off-line? (will it stabilize again?)
