Satelite is at 2nd florr and router is at 1st floor, which are 30 ft apart.My old router from Verizon never lost connection. I have enabled Armor. Around 15 devices are connected either Router or Satelite.We work from home and frequent connection issues is irritating my wife. I bought the new router from Amazon and Netgear Tech support is saying that the router is manufactured in 2016 and refurbished. I have option to return, but want to try few more days.
Any idea why I am losing connection.
V2.3.5.30 has known problems. Has your Orbi ever worked correctly? How did you update to V2.3.5.30?
It is not working from Day1. Intermittently connections are dropped. Eventhough Wifi bars are strong, internet is not working. It is updated to new firmware during initial setup
Possible the system you got from Amazon if faulty from the get go if it hasn't been working well since "day 1", maybe need to replace the entire system.

Not necessaily. IF this is a new system, once setup, the NG server will push the most current (?) FW (V2.3.5.30) and there ya go....
Any progress on this?
