ronald, I wholeheartedly agree!
I've had an Orbi RBK40 for 10 days. Nothing but problems. Disconnects almost every hour. Multiple factory resets, power cycling, turning router/satellite off/on, and syncing....no improvement. Updated firmware...no improvement.
I am still in my Amazon return window. I've got 2 more things I will try tonight. If those don't work, then the Orbi goes back tomorrow. I cannot believe how difficult it is to get this thing working properly. I bought the Orbi because of the dedicated backhaul channel. If I have to send this back, I am going to get my original first choice, the Google.
