Orbi satellite dropping connection

We will be connecting to NBN (National Broadband Network) in January....no choice...so it might be a good time to return Orbi and start afresh.

Just told them I purchased an Amplify HD so don't need their support or product anymore.
3 days connected no dropouts. All is calm again with the family :)
