Orbi satellite dropping connection
Right to the point: my Orbi system has 2 satellites and 1 main tower. The internet drops/slows down (to the point where internet browsing is not possible) 2-3 times per day randomly without warning o...
After reading so many horror stories, I don’t believe I am ready to try out the system for long. It seems hit and miss scenario for so many users for such anpricey system. I don’t want to miss 90 days return window. Going back to Costco.
It’s not interference. There is a problem with the Orbi’s so take them back ASAP. Netgear reads these threads and if they had a solution they would chime in, but they can’ because they don’t know. I went to the X10 and four of the new X8000 they released and I have not had one drop since installed it 3 weeks ago. Everything is in the same exact spot as the orbis.
ORBI SUCKS!

ORBI SUCKS!While it probably isn't interference, I don't believe it's a hardware fault. For many, it had been perfect for months, but beginning with 1.10.x they lost control of stability. They have to go back to a previous release, disregard all changes made since that period, and start from a stable place.
You're correct, they'd chime in if they believed they had a clue, but they don't.
