Orbi backhaul simply not working, about to ditch it
About to trought out this very exspensive system as it simply never works. Got a simple system, one router one satalitle. The satelite is 90cm horizontally and 230cm (one floor) above the router...
OK, thanks for all the suggestions.
My flat is a "very normal" construction with a 10cm concrete floor between the router and satellite.
When I set it up, it goes through the correct “lights” cycle and turns blue after a minute, this is corroborated with the “Good” status on web and app interface. It works fine for a number of hours and has acceptable throughput. The status on the Web and App to then change to “poor”. When the status change to “poor” throughput nearly disappear.
Thanks for the comment that the satellite may be to close and causing interference I have set the “Transmit Power Control” to 25% (50% did not make a difference) and that resulted in the status changing to “Good”. Let’s see if it stays like that.
I will also try to move the satellite further away to see if I can replicate this.
PS, seems to be a very common problem.

that's very likely to be your problem. Cement tends to be the best blocker of wifi. and floor concrete tends to have more reinforcing metal (rods).
