MR80 MS80 backhaul dying
Just wanted to jump in and say that I've been having the same issue as the OP. I bought my system 2 years ago (June 2021) and have had this issue the entire time. I've tried just about everything and nothing works. I've just resigned myself to restarting every couple of days.
