RBK40 Issues Resolved with latest firmware 1.11.0.20
I have the Orbi RBK40 with one satellite. I was experiencing the various issues described in other threads with instability. The signal would randomly drop, speeds fluctuated wildly from one second...

Just to be clear, I posted this to see if other users have experienced resolution of the many stated problems this system has had since it was released. I had short windows of time when the system was stable after I made some minor changes to the Router, or as in this case, new firmware came out. Only to be disappointed after a week or so when the problems began again.
I do not want to return the product if this latest Firmware update truly fixed the problem but I can't wait too long if I am going to return it. I hoped others would post their experience on this thread to give me some reassurance that it is in fact permanently resolved. The majority of posts related to the Orbi seem to be related to the RBK50, which is to be expected since it has been on the market longer. I don't know how to get more visibility to this thread. Perhaps as a moderator you can help get more visibility on this thread.

I have RBR50 setup and FW. I am getting drops of SAT through out the day, roughly 3 hours a part. Outages do seem short in nature.
