Netgear support offers to replace my satelittes. I have three and dont know which of them is "Defect"
Has anybody went through such a replace action with the problem of disconnects solved ?
II'am not sure all the effort of replacing the satelittes does any good if the firmware is the big issue (what it clearly seems to be)
Will be interesting in Germany we have 2 years warranty by law, not just 90 days ...

scornwell I was referring to tech reviews on places like Tom's Guide, etc. - not Amazon reviews. I'll take them all with a grain of salt, but still, the Orbi does seem to be the better hardware - especially for my needs, where having the built-in 4-port ethernet switch on the satellite is really nice.
For others, like alberts wondering about hardware replacements, I've been there, done that. Before I discovered that the V1.12.0.18 firmware was problematic, I just figured there was something wrong with my satellite (since we still had wifi w/ good performance from the router). So I purchased a new satellite. Didn't help - I could never get that new satellite to sync with the router. So, "The router must be the problem," I thought. So I then purchased a brand new RBK50 system (consisting of the RBR50 router and one RBS50 satellite). That worked fine for a few days, then the satellite stopped syncing, just like before. Ugh! At this point I searched more and found this thread - so I plugged in my old router/satellite, did the factory resets and downgraded the firmware. And lo and behold, the satellite started syncing again. (but there were other problems with the older firmware, which I discovered later - see my previous posts)
HTH,
