Just been backed from my vacation.
The internet stopped connection for 4 times in this evening, really frustrating.
The firmware is the latest one V2.1.4.16. My modem model Technocolor TD3300P.
I don't know what is Mfr and model# of the ISP modem? I lived in an apartment around 1000 Square feet.
I am just an ordinary computer user BUT not an expert. I expect the NG was suitable for most of the user liker ready to wear shoes. And it seemed NG was like a pair of bespoke shoes and need to do all the measurement and fine tuning.

Whats the distance between the Orib router and setelliite? 1000sq ft place is probably too small to run the Orbi router and a satellite. The Orbi router alone can cover up and beyond 1000Sq ft. Have you tried running the Orbi router alone with out the satellite turn ON?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? If you live in a apartment complex, there maybe neighboring wifi that can cause interferences...Fine tuning will be needed in these cases...nature of the beast.
