I am done. Costco return policy?
I am done. I have a Gigabit connection. The Sats and Router were all working fine. With the latest firmware update, the Sats randomly drop what looks like the 5GHZ and downgrade anything connecting t...
Thanks. It did happen after the update and the Sats are pretty close to the router already (25-30 feet) and I get a blue light on each sat at boot up.
That sounds reasonably close. However, numerous people that had working setups have had to move their Orbi devices closer together after the latest update, and things have been stable for them after they did so. If yours developed issues, then I would try moving them closer together, or shifting position to reduce the amount of building materials between them. Moving the sats and enabling daisy chain is also an option.
Netgear really needs a better way to continuously monitor and report satellite connectivity. The blue light at bootup is just a single point in time. RF varies with time, so the light is not a good enough indicator.
