Is the Direct TV box wireless or ethernet connected to the CBR? 

One or two RBS deployed?

    Try setting an IP address reservation on the CBR for the DirectTV device? 

     

    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.

     

    4 RBS in that size of home, maybe too many RBS. The CBR and just 1 RBS will work.

    Too Much Wifi: https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4

     

    I get away with a CBR and just 1 RBS in my 5000sq ft home 3 levels including basement where the RBS gets deployed.

      I tried that 1/1 and just didn't get enough signal. House is very long and old and built like a tank (1937)

        Might try turning down the power on the RBR from 100% to say 50%.
