Had mine about a month now. Not very long however has been stable in a 5000sq ft house. I've disabling MIMO. Mine doesn't have Daisy Chain or Fast Roaming so I can't test those features. Only have 1 Satellite anyways.
It's recommended to give a try and disable Beamforming, MIMO, Daisy Chain, and Fast Roaming if you have any of these options.
Set manual channell 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
WPA2 and AES only.
How big is your house? You might not need a Satellite, just use the Orbi router.
If you seem to experience continued problems, and if your on v2.#.1.8, then down grade to v2.0.1.4. I would send the FW file using IE11 or FF browser, after it installs, to a factory reset on both router and Satellite. Then setup from scratch. Disable the aboe mentioned features again and test.
