RBR850/RBS850 4.6.3.9 Firmware problem
RBR850 in AP mode
After updating to 4.6.3.9 (rbr850 and rbs850 s) lost CONNECTION (wireless) to my two satellites (RBS850). Tried wired (backbone), works. Switched to router mode all fine (wireless and wired)
Also when in AP mode, when RBR850 is connected to the main router (pfsense) via the internet port, it gets into a loop of dropping the wifi (RBR850 WIFI appears for 15 sec then drops and then appears and drops and so on)
When the router is plugged in any other Lan port of RBR850, wifi of RBR850 is stable.
Tried factory reset, fixed ip, ax off, daysaving off, metered off, in all combinations)
Also sync in router mode and fixing the addresses of all 3 to what they are in ap mode. This seemed to work for 5min and then lost connection to satellites. (always with router going in to lan port of rbr850 not internet port as this drops wifi)

Same exact problem!
Channel correction. 11 and 48 on the RBR.
Update: My RBS850s seems to be reproducing this boot loop issue. I'm seen 1 RBS that i'm in sight of reboot after about 3-5 minutes with BLUE front LED on, then it goes OFF for a few seconds then turns back ON and pulsates WHITE for about 20 secones then back to BLUE.
Going to factory reset tomorrow and re-check this.
When you do the reset try a 30-30-30 and see if it doesn't "set" the FW better? That's what I did for my reset in .223. I have left things.
So getting things back to a working point in .223 and leaving it, I see what happens when you don't keep an eye on things. You get violated. After I wrote a huge post that was half disgust, half humor and posted it. It did post. Come to find out the issue that I was posting about was when the RBK system was being force fed v4.6.3.16_2.0.51. That just added to my post not posting. But then it would have been wrong. I would have been writing about a supposed full self-shutdown and it wasn't. It was the update. I was trying so hard to stay in .223 until a rev came out that was halfway stable. That's what I get for trying.
Although things have been as well as it was in .223. Even with the forced update which is a "Dirty Update". Now with that said, I jinxed myself and everything will fail monumentally this afternoon. It won't matter much except it'll cut off Amazon Music Ultra from the Mothership and I won't have music while I trim back 225 feet of 6' high Evergreen bushes. Yup, we're goin' full party mode in the South 40 today. Hopefully that will calm me down enough that when the RBR fails it doesn't end up in the 40' dumpster my neighbor parked along the party yard bushes.
- Thanks to furynutz over at reddit I managed to revert to a previous firmware.

- As for the auto update, my rbr850 is on AP mode behind a pfsense router and I have blocked internet access to the rbr850
I have this problem too. I couldn't log in the fiber modem. But I could log on the rbr850 and rbs850. After several minutes, then it is ok. Then after a certain time, it fails again.
