Satellite internet drops out or slows randomly

 
 
 

 

I am currently on 2.4.1.16 and have a router w/ single sat system. Now I am having an issue with the satilite randomly dropping connectivity to devices to almost no bandwidth. 
 
The satilite is currently 25-30 feet away from the router. I have moved it to 15' away to 45' away... 45' away caused it to loose it connection to the router itself... 15' makes no difference, I get the same odd bandwidth drop. 
 
Any ideas?

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Yes, I recently factory reset it and I disabled UPnP, Daisy Chaining. I enabled beamforming. It's still dropping out. I have a lot of HUE lights, and sonos speakers, and nest security/cameras. 

It is still dropping out randomly.

If you turn off the RBS, leaving the RBR online, does the devices maintain connections with the RBR? 

 

Possible your RBS maybe faulty...

I have turned off my RBS and devices attached to the satelite have been dropped from the network.

Sounds like a faulty RBS. 

 

Try this, manually reload FW on to the RBS using a wired PC directly to the RBS web page. Then factory reset the RBS and re-add it to the RBR. 

If it still fails, the RBS will need to be replaced.
