Apple TV dropping network with ORBI53
I purcheased the ORBI53 about a month ago and everything has worked well until yesterday. The network is dropping IOS devices, especially 2-4th Gen Apple TVs with up to date softeware. Any suggestion...
Also would like to see an update. Experiencing the same problem with my 3gen AppleTV. Will frequenly disconnect from Orbi even tho the base station is in the same room.

I thought I was upgrading my home WiFi with a new RBK50 system. I upgraded from an Apple Airport Extreme router located upstairs to this new RBK50, with the base unit upstairs and the satellite downstairs.
I never had an issue with the Apple router, but wanted to get a bit more reach into different parts of the house.
And now I'm noticing that streaming via my Apple TV (4G) is horrible. Last night I was streaming NCIS on the CBS app and the picture would change from crystal clear to grainy...sometimes the picture would freeze for a few seconds...sometimes the audio would drop for a few seconds.
Is this something I'm going to have issues with, or is there something that can be updated to fix this?
Good luck... as you can see from this thread we've been waiting a while.
I'd just return it before you can't like those of us stuck with it. I ended up having to get a wireless dongle and use the ethernet port on the Apple TV. Even then it flakes out on occation, but it's better.
