Any progress on this?
Had the RBS been first setup and connnected wirelessly to the RBR then once all set there, then connect them to ethernet. Then once all settled in there, do a test by disconnecting one of the RBS from Ethernet and give 1-2 minutes to see if the status changes on the RBRs web page from wired to wireless status?

To get the satellite back online, I need to give it a power cycle to then re-join the mesh.
How can I change my set-up so that the satellites DO fall back to a wireless backhaul?
