Orbi backhall signal dropping to Zero
When I upgraded to the latest firmware the backhall signal started to drop to zero. It was smooth prior to the upgrade. This has to degrade performance. See below. What can be done?
I'm seeing the dropouts on the pixel as well, but also on the several android devices, have noticed the power drain issue since setting up Orbi. It's gotten a bit better with the current firmware, but nowhere near where it ought to be.
Also saw the dropouts on Wifi Analyzer on the Pixel. (short interval for scans will show it; the netgear analyzer has too long a default scan time)
When it works, it's great.Nice and fast. I might have to unplug the satellite to see if that helps at all. (And as others have noted, what's the point of the Orbi if it doesn't work with the satellites?)
