RBR20: periodic internet outages
We bought a 2-pack (RBR20 + RBS20) 2 months ago. Our connection speed is now exceptional connected to the fibre router. We really like the product. We moved to a new house four weeks ago and bought another RBS20.
But all this time our connection has dropped off once or twice a week. It's down for about 15 minutes. It never used to happen with our previous system (Airport Extreme).
Do you have any thoughts or simular expreiences?
