Orbi satellite connectivity issue
Please help me end my frustration. I have had "ok" internet for the past 5 months I've had Orbi AC2200 system, however over the past month it has been brutal. Devices lose connectivity all the time...

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
Please try a factory reset and setup from scratch with the RBR and RBS.
Is the satellites on the same FW version as the RBR?
The RBSY won't be.

Devices lose connectivity all the time. I even had a technician to the house and he said the modem is brinigng signal in fine, the router is not delivering signal properly. To try and resolve the issue, i bought an Orbi AC3000 satellite. Out of the box, I performed a sync, it connected blue, and then 2 minutes later went magenta, and then 30 seconds later, blue. And then 2 minutes later, magenta. I believe this same issue is happening to my original satellite. PLEASE HELP! Netgear support only responds to tickets once per day and I waited on hold 90 minutes for support today (to inform me the orignal satellite I bought was not compatible.) My wifi situation is a nightmare and I've dumped $600 into trying to improve it! I am running firmware V2.5.1.16
