How about you share some more information about your environment and configuration.
That would be helpful in understanding why everything is so peachy for you.
I have an Arris Surfboard cable modem ahead of the Orbi. I think I left orbi settings in default except to point to a different dns source other than Comcast. The router and sat updated overnight but the sat was disconnected. I used my devices as usual and after a couple of hours everything connected without my intervention. Everything stayed connected after a power outage and has remained stable. Dunno why.
ArtLeeIf I remember correctly, you initially had issues and were ready to return the Orbi system. However, moving the satellite relative to the Orbi "router" resolved your issues. You alse needed to move things again after the latest firmware update. Correct?

Yes, you're right. I had terrible connection issues on fw 1.11 and moved the sat closer. Cleared things up for awhile, so I moved the sat back to the original, and desired, position. Stayed good until the update to 1.12 overnight. Could not connect to the sat leaving speed very slow at the far end of the house. I was too busy til late in the day to fool around with it. By the end of that day, everything looked great. Don't know how or why.
