is Orbi working for you?

I have had issues with this system since I bought it. Been going back and forth between different firmwares trying to find a stable solution. Resetting both router and satellite. Using only default settings etc etc.

I was ready to return it around a month ago. I had given up on this system and initiated a return process towards the seller. As I was preparing to return it I reset everything one last time and updated the system to the latest firmware at that time, V2.1.1.16. To my surprise the system suddenly appeared to be stable. No lost internet connection for a month. No reboots or anything. Just rock solid internet and wifi. The system giving me a taste for how it should be. But then, just the other day, I noticed when I got home that there is no internet connectivity on my phone that is connected to the satellite. I power toggle the satellite and it starts working again just to stop again after a few minutes.

It seems like the connection between the router and satellite stops working for some reason. I tried updating to the latest firmware V2.1.2.18. But it works just as bad. Downgraded to the .16 firmware again but still not stable. Only way for me to get stable wifi now is to turn off the satellite and just use the router. Of course the coverage and signal strength is suffering. This is really frustrating.

Contemplating if I should reinitiate the return process and buy something else. I have no faith left in Netgear and this system cost too much for me to accept this kind of instability.
