(Yet another) Problem with LAN breaking down between Router and Satellites
Hello, I have found quite a few (older) threads here from users that used to have problem with their LAN connection breaking down between devices connected in various scenarios on the main unit and...
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
I see you have a RBS20, does this get connected or no?
What version of FW is loaded on this RBS20?
Does the system work ok with out the RBS20 being connected?
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.

As I have stated in my previous post a reset and setup of scratch has not been performed.

As I stated in my previous post, normally both satellites get connected. This RBS20 is disconnected because I am testing things out to try locate my issue.

As I stated in the #1 post the FW loaded on all devices is the V2.7.3.22

My devices work "better" without the RBS20 being connected as they all connect on to the RBR but this is not ideal because some of them can barely stay connected due to distance.

My home is approximately 753.474 square feet

RBR to SAT1 -> 30 feet (straight line)
RBR to SAT2 -> 30,5 feet (straight line)
All walls are from BRICK.

Something that will need to be tried.

Try turning down the power output of the RBR50 to 50% to see if this will help farther devices from the RBR connect to the closer RBS.

Sure is a small home...

Might try moving the RBS a bit closer to the RBR as brick can effect signal travel.
