Lets try setting manual channel 1 and 40 on the RBR.
Then set the RBRs transmit power to 50%. Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
When the RBS is ethernet connected, is the connection directly in back to the RBR or is there a LAN switch inbetween the RBR and RBS? Brand and model if one is used.
What CAT# lan cable was used? CAT6 is recommended.

Ok. I made the above changes late last night. I am still getting intermittent disconnects this morning.

I was using a Netgear GS108 gigabit switch to connect to the satellite. However, I removed it back in October when I started getting intermittent connection issues.
I do not have a LAN switch between the RBR and RBS. I have tried both Cat5e and Cat6 cables.

"I was using a Netgear GS108 gigabit switch to connect to the satellite. However, I removed it back in October when I started getting intermittent connection issues" So it was working well with this in place?

It was working great from February to October. Then I started getting the intermittent drops from the satellite. That is when I removed the switch to see if it was the issue.

And it still happens if you put the switch back in?
Let bring the RBS closer to the RBR, say 5-6 feet closer...
