RBR750 Satellite Connection Issues
I have a RBR 750 and a pair of RBS 750s around my house and up until recently devices were connected to the satellites.
I’ve noticed the deterioration and streaming quality on my main TV with frequent resolution downgrades and lagging in streaming high but rate content.
upon inspection I've noticed there are no devices connected to the RBS. Instead they are listed as being connected on the RBR or just missing all together even though they are connected to the network.
firmware is 3.2.16.22
not sure if there’s something in the settings that I should be tweaking but everything is stock out of the box, and I recently factory reset the RBR and the RBS to factory thinking this may fix the issue which I did not.
any help would be appreciated since calling into Orby is useless outside the 90 days

Re: RBR750 Satellite Connection Issues
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

You might try updating to v12:
RBS first then RBR lastly:

Re: RBR750 Satellite Connection Issues
Modem: Motorola MB8600
Home SqFt: 2500
i would say average distance between them is 30+ Feet (2nd story, main floor, basement)
I live in suburbia NY so I have quite a few others around me using WiFi.
I'll try changing the settings around and doing the manual install, starting there seems easy.

Re: RBR750 Satellite Connection Issues
Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
