Orbi RBS50
I have a desktop running Windows 10 at the far end of the house from a RBS50 satellite. Unfortunately, while the signal remains strong, the internet disconnects a lot. I will be working and it will...
Yes, the orbi router is in another building and the satellite is in the building with the computer having internet issues. Sorry for the confusion.
then the answer is ether move the comp to the sat or closer to it or run ethernet from the sat to the comp
or
get a better wireless adapter in your comp
something like asus pce-ac68
The intensity of the signal from the satellite is not bad. I have 4 bars and remain connected to the network, but then it disconnects me from the internet. I am losing internet, but not losing satellite connectivity. I am not sure how moving closer to the satellite or getting a higher intensity wifi card would fix that.

You said your Orbi base unit and satellite are in different buildings. You also said your client device has a strong connection to the satellite. The issue then is most likely a weak connection between the Orbi base unit and the Orbi satellite. Try to place them so they are closer together, or place them both near windows facing each other. The 5 GHz backhaul does not travel very far, so you may have problems making it work across buildings.
