orbi problematic satellite connection

How can I trouble shoot connectivity to satellite or possibly satellite backhaul? I have to reboot orbi devices twice a day. Firmware on all three is now v2.5.1.8

    I called into tech support today and got a tier 1 support tech that did not seem to be very familiar with product. Every thing I asked was met with 3 to 5 minutes of on hold while asking someone else or reading something. They don't even ask for anything from the router web pages so I suppose its useless to them as well. They knew of no way to log these connectivity issues and their suggestion was to move them closer or also try a wired back haul. I only have about 10 days left before return windows closes, so the stuff is all boxed up for return tomorrow as this is just unacceptable.
