Orbi RBR20 Life Expectancy
I have an RBR20 with 3x RBS20 satellites, all V2.7.4.24. I think I bought this in 2018 or 2019 - what's the life expectancy?
In the last week, the mesh network has started dropping out randomly during the day, even though I have 110 mbps from my service provider. Is it possible to monitor the performance of the mesh network.

I had my RBR50 and it's 8 satellites since 2017 and it's working perfectly well, very high loads most of the time, with over 50 devices connected.
You can monitor the network using the web GUI (orbilogin.com) where you will see the status of router, all satellites and attached devices. You can also see the logs for information on what is happening on the network. You can also make speed tests from the GUI.
I think the web GUI and the Orbi app are good enough to monitor and manage my network, so far.
If you haven't in a while, you can try a factory reset. Sometimes old settings can cause issues and if you haven't done one in a while, it can help.
I've had a RBR50 system since release and it still kicking and working well. But its had pretty regular (maybe once a year or even more often) resets.
