RBR750 - unstable, satellites keep disconnecting

Ok, let us know how that goes. 🤔

Will do. One thing that seems to occur is that when the RBS disconnect, then the other RBS seem to interfere/prevent the reconnection. These past few times, the RBR has still been accessible via wifi.

I don't know if this is happening or why it might be happening if so. But in theory with only one RBS running then if it does disconnect then it should be able to reconnect (since there are no others powered on.)

Let see how it goes. May at some point, try each one of the other RBS, one at a time, connected to the RBR to see if those can keep connected to the RBR.

It's a good shout... because at this point I am honestly starting to wonder if there's some hardware failure going on

[FURRYe38]

One way to may help find that out. 😏

Thought I'd update this because things have settled down a bit. I have re-sited the nodes (mostly forced due to a Fibre upgrade) but this means the Router is now more central and I now just have 2 APs which seem to make sense.

So far I am not seeing the same issue where nodes would disconnect and then not recover.

re-sited? Do you mean reset? 

Glad it's working better now. 
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.

Enjoy. 📡

No, sorry - I meant 're positioned' - i.e, I changed the location of the router and satellites in the house to try and get a better coverage.

TBH so far nothing material has changed other than this and reducing down to just 2 satellites.

So the RBS are keeping connected and working better now?
