Orbi - Severe​ Lockups / Drops WiFi & Satellites (v1.10.1.2)

Orbi has so much potential but I am afraid like you that it is a hardware issue. I think the drops are going unnoticed for some users because of buffering in things like Youtube that cover up the issue. I have yet to see someone post the graph of a backaul signal that doesn't look like an EKG. Placement location makes no difference, you can unplug the satellites and the router will still broadcast the backhaul and drop it every 5-10 seconds. I'm past the return period and hoping for a miracle.
