Orbi satellite dropping connection

What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?

Try setting up reserved IP addresses for your satellites and other devices. 

Can try this as well:

Heres how I got my friends 50 series up and running:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-firmware-update-v2-1-4-16-availability/m-p/1592753/highlight/true#M34020

Zero issues since setting it up.

If nothing works, you may just have a bad system and would need to be replaced or RMAd.

The latest per Netgear on all 3 devices - main router and satellites (both connected via backhaul on Cat5): 

2.1.4.16

Direct to FIOS ONT that works flawlessly 

 

>>>What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

~3,000- 3,500

But again - this is not about WiFi this disconnect and failure occurs on *wired* connections. THe log from the Synology device disconnect is a wired connection

 

>>>>What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them, to begin with depending upon building materials.

Both satellite devices are connected via backhaul. Base router in the basement, second device ground floor and second satellite first floor

 

 

>>>What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Auto - but I'd settle for a wired connection that was stable

 

>>>Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

2 low signal and they have been there for several years with prior wifi systems and have never caused any problems. But as above I'd settle to solve the wired disconnects and then worry about WiFi probelms 

 

 

>>>>Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

 

I'd go through this if I had a stable wired connection but don't. Unless any of these settings affect the wired connections I'd like o get my wired connections stable and not constantly disconnecting, unless you are telling me that the Orbi Router is unstable for all connections if the WiFi is affected - which would imo be a terrible problem. I've lived with WiFi challenges for years as I am sure many other have and expect them and am lucky to have Cat5 installed to multiple locations to provide reliable service where required - especially connections that need a persistentersistant connection (CItrix fo example)

 

What am I missing - I've spent says with my network dead, unable to print (hard wired printers not WiFi), unable to access files, security cameras disconnected (hard wired), inaccessible files on NAS devices and connections to the internet that are so slow that any app requiring internet access eventually hangs and has to be manually quit. I've checked the direct ONT FIOS internet which has run consistently >100/100 but that fails to show up wired or wireless
