RBS850s Show Different Statuses But Are Identical: Bug?
My RBR850 is running firmware version V3.2.17.12_1.4.14 and has never performed better. Speeds are high and connectivity is rock solid. I have three RBS850s also connected -- two via hard wire a...

I ran into a odd issue this past week with 1 of my RBS, wired. Was showing "out of sync" on the RBRs status page. Other RBS was fine. RBS web page showed it was working fine and had connected clients connected. No front LED was on or blinked. Just the status on the RBRs web page was not Good. I had to power OFF the RBS, reset, wireless re-sync the RBS to the RBR after it finally synced, wire connected it again and it's been online and showing GOOD as the status since then. No idea why the status changed or what happened. I gathered logs and sent off to NG for review. No responce.
I would reset and resync your RBS.
When RBS are wire connected, the wifi icon for 2.4 and 5Ghz will be grayed out. This is normal.

Thanks FURRYe38 , I will power cycle them later today and check status. If it is still odd, I will reset the satellites as recommended and check. Either way I will report back what I find.
Funny thing is that the network is running better than ever; I should have never looked at the satellite pages! LOL
