Quick update on my setup (post 4.6.3.16 firmware update...I had accidently posted in the 750 thread initially). I have the RBR850 and 2 RBS850 satellites...the satellite that is the furthest away from router is the one that keeps rebooting (pulsing white, blue...and sometimes the blue light stays on for an extended period of time).
The other satellite doesn't appear to have any issue at this point. 2-Story house w/basement (about 5600 sq. ft), Router in basement (where the fiber comes into the house), satellite on first floor (opposite end of the house), satellite on 2nd floor (towards the back of the house where the router is located).
The satellite on the 1st floor is the one that keeps restarting... I've followed all the recommendations (Furry, you've been very helpful, thank you)...full reset, restart (30-30-30), re-sync, etc. Not knowing how long the firmware update might take to address this, I'm going to try and implement a wired backhaul for the 1st floor satellite (contracting with a local firm to run ethernet cable from the basement to my home office where the 1st floor satellite is located).
Before the most recent firmware update, system has been rock solid for me, so hopefully a firmware update or wired backhaul will fix this.
Quick update....
1) Wired backhaul for the satellite (RBS850) furthest away from the router (RBR850) was installed on Friday, recognized it was wired immediately and has been rock solid. Second satellite (RBS850) still leveraging wireless backhaul, no issues.
2) Prior to the wired backhaul being installed on Friday, the system has been very stable on 16 over the past several weeks. Not sure if its related, had a extended power outage at the house over the last month, system was without power for a few hours, and since that time I've had no issues with the 1st floor satellite rebooting continuously or the blue light staying on for an extended period of time. I had previously powered down the entire system for 30 minutes.
Fingers crossed, but the system has been stable on 16 as of late.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Hi cdawson,
FYI I had 4 wired backhauled satelites but I can already tell you that this will not solve the routing problem in the firmware.
I really did not expect to loose days downgrading firmware and analysing the problem. Espcially when you just invested EUR 1800.
Personally I went for a refund...and choose for a different brand
- Good luck with your new router system! If you don’t mind me asking which brand and model did you get?
I went for AVM FRITZ!Box 7590 AX (Wi-Fi 6 router) and 4 AVM FRITZ!Repeater 6000 (WiFi 6 repeater)
AVM is German based company that used to have 60% marketshare in Germany at a certain period of time
Performance is nearly as good as RBR 850 system with proven stabilty instead
Price tag is 1/3
Try this as it seem to work for this user:
