RBR750 - pausing WiFi

RBR750 - pausing WiFi

Why does the pausing WiFi funcition keep losing it's functionality? One week it works, the next it doesn't, for no reason that I know of. I can hit the Pause on all Devices, and nothing happens. It's the only thing I dislike about the RBR750 router. Otherwise, these routers are great.

Re: RBR750 - pausing WiFi

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?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 

 

How many RBS are deployed? 
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 wired or wirelessly connected.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? 
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? 
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

 

Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
