Orbi RBW30 satellite keeps dropping connection
I bought this last week and I set it up. It links (blue light) but then when I go to check it a little later it's not connected. It's doubly annoying because everything connected to it loses internet...
You can find RB40 FW here:

Your way behind and you may not beable to upgrade fully to most current unless you apply an intermediate version of FW first. I would try
Version 2.1.1.12,
Then once this is applied, then apply v.210.
I recommend downloading the files first, the useing IE11 or FF browser, apply the intermediate vresion, then most current version, do a full factory reset then setup from scratch.
If you update to recent FW v.210, enable Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

Hmm, I tried the firmware update, it says "No new firmware version available" on both the router and satellite.
RBR40 Firmware: V1.9.1.6
RBW30 Firmware: V2.2.1.204
I'd like to confirm that my set up has exhibited the exact same problems of lost connectivity on the RBW30 since the latest firmware update. The prior version did not exhibit any such issues.
Let me clarify, the RBR50 and RBS40 running FW 2.2.1.210 work fine. It's just the RBW30 running 2.2.1.204 that keeps losing connectivity to the the RBS40, noting that Daisy Chain topology has been enabled.
It does eventually refind itself after a while. It holds the connection for a day or two, then drops it again.
Not a show stopper. I'll just wait until the next firmware update is made available (hopefully with a fix).
