So I have had the RBK23 for a few months now but just opened the box as we moved into our new house. I have had so many issues since installing it's driving me crazy.
The house is wired for Cat 6 in most locations all feeding to a closet on the 2nd floor. The house is about 3600sqft but WiFi is really needed mostly in central locations.
I setup the RBR20 router upstairs in my office where my cable modem is. I then setup a Satellite in the media room directly below the study so the Satellite is probably 15ft directly below.
I then setup a Satellite in the living room which is probably 40 ft from the media room on 1st floor. It's also probably still in range of the upstairs study router.
Originally I did my setup earlier with the stock firmware completely wireless and not using Ethernet backhaul. The topology showed up as star with each connecting to the main router. Later today I then came home and the topology was daisy chained.
I noticed that some of my devices we're connected to either the router or the furthest satellite so their signal was weak.
I figured I hadn't updated the firmware so I did that to 2.3.1.58
This is when all my problems started.
Some of my satellites are dropping out as shown in the Daisy chain configuration below. It also shows the week device attached to the router even though satellite 1 is within a few feet of it.

Next I figured why don't I backhaul satellite 2 with the Ethernet. That is when the system went completely nuts. It keeps switching between star and daisy chain topology. Some of the satelittes keep going out, etc. You can see multiple pictures of issues over the last hour. Devices keep dropping as well

Any help would be great. Move to a mesh thinking it was going to be amazing and all I have is issues now.
