Thanks for quick reply and that link. After quick read of that thread I've decided to stay away from Armor until they fix the issues. Seems pretty clear it's not ready for widespread use if basic activation types of errors are still reported - and the fact that it's not even possible to activate in browser and only on phone apps (if they happen to work) is another indication it's not ready - really hard to believe this is actually the case so maybe I'm missing something there as well.
Just quick thanks to the users on here who have tried helping resolve my issues with the orbi.
I've now sent it back as its not fit for purpose in my view. when it works, its brilliant but as is with the disconnections, app not working as should be, satellites not using ethernet backhaul when should be, its not a system i could stick with.
I've now switched to google wifi and set this up in 20 minutes (3 device system) and it's working perfectly, no drop outs, no disconnections, no constant cycling of the connection for the satellites. it seems to just work.
It's a shame the orbi's are let down my should buggy firmwares, apps and possible units as when it works as supposed to, the performance is excellent
