RBR20 dropping internet and satellites losing connectivity
I have this same problem (wifi dropping, satellites losing connection to the router). My router is running the latest firmware V2.7.4.24, I have two satellites. This system has been rock solid for just over 2 years, it has been wildly inconsistent the last month. thanks for any advice.

Re: RBR20 dropping internet and satellites losing connectivity
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.
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 wirelessly connected.

️What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter.

Re: RBR20 dropping internet and satellites losing connectivity
Thanks for the feedback. I was able to rectify the situation by a hard reset of the modem, router, satellites, then resynching the satellites.
