I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT....
I've had the RBK40 for about 10 days and have yet to go 24 hours without problems. Constant disconnects. I've reset to factory default 3 times. I've updated to the newest firmware. Power cycled. ...
Yes, I've set up from scratch (3 times!) since the FW update. Satellite is between 30-40 feet. Noted items disabled.
Square footage is around 1300.
I did change the 2.4 channel to 11 once, but it made things even worse. I am going to try channel 1. Not sure how to know which 5g channel is "unused". Another poster suggested ch48. Will try tonight.
I really hope this works, because, when it works, the Orbi is great. I just can't be mucking with this multiple times a day.
With a 1300sq ft home, you might not need a satallite. The router alone can cover this kind of size home if placed centerally.
Also disable Daisy Chain, MIMO and Fast Roaming to test.
AP mode suggestion:

- I’ve been doing some long-haul testing of different settings, and the only setting change that has actually helped matters for me was disabling “Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence”, as suggested by DarrenM
With that setting enabled, I get multiple disconnects per day. With that setting disabled, I’ve only had one disconnect in the last two weeks.
YMMVThis would be a good a suggestion as well. This maybe needed if you have other neighboring wifi signals near by however.
Thanks for letting us know.
