RBR850 is not ready for prime usage.

I bought RBK852 to expand my RBR50 network.

  1. I connected RBR850 with latest version to the modem with Router mode.
  2. I connected my RBR50 with AP Mode to RBR50 with AP Mode.

My network keeps dropping devices.

The only way around is using RBR50 as the main router then connect RBR850 to it with AP Mode.

 

This should be fixed soon, so we can upgrade.

Re: RBR850 is not ready for prime usage.

Try the 8 series system with out the 50 series system online. Does it still happen? 

 

If you have the 50 series online. Be sure the distance between the two systems is far appart. 30 feet. in between the RBRs and RBSs. Use different channels between the two systems. Channel 1 for the 50 series and channel 11 for the 850 series. Same with 5Ghz channels. Far appart channels. Also you maybe over saturating the wifi area as well. Try turning down the power output of the RBR50 wifi radios from 100% to 25% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

 

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

Not seen anything with mine. V32 FW loaded. Nothing FW related.
