Ya, thats one thing you'll need to check on if that happens.

I have one at each of my RBS locations. Works great if you can install them with a wired network connection to the router.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thanks! It worked. Apparently if they both start at the same time (loss of power and when it comes back) they both sync to the RBR. I'll have to check the map if that happens.

Or, for a lower cost fix, connect the RBR and both RBSs to small UPSs. Power glitches and momentary outages are an almost daily occurrence here and my daisy chain has been stable for over a month. PrIor to putting the satellites on UPS, they would both home run to the router upon power hits.
