RBK20W ac2200
greetings
newly installed RBK20W wifi with one satelite.
one computer, which is only 4 feet from the router has given me mixed signals
for example when I check network and sharing I'm connected to the network but have no internet access
even though I have complete access to the internet.
another funny symptom is I have stopped getting e-mail on this machine
this is an old school windows based tower set up
