RBK50 Disconnects driving me crazy

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

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

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

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.

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

I'm a somewhat older fellow that doesn't have the greatest grasp of modern technology.

Just when I try to research the latest "get rid of cable" rave, I decide to update my WiFi router with what I thought was a great option, the ORBI RBK50 system.

Installed last week and ever since it's been a constent headache of disconnects. Trying to do a little research has turned into potentially hours of suggestions and rebuttles, really not much I understand  But it's given me a few ideas, the main one is go back to my old system. After having used a Netgear WNDR4500 for 4-5 years with zero issues I am very dissapointed in this "upgrade".

 

WiFi shouldn't be so complicated especially since I really don't have anything special connected. A few Roku devices, a Sonos, a few phones and laptops.

 

Very disappointed at Netgear
