Dustin, my setup is still working great. no dropped connections that I am aware of. A little more detail on my process. 1. I updated the firmware of the sattelite and router. These need to be updated seperately. I had to manually download the update and install from my computer. 2. I unplugged the modem power and disconnected the ethernet going into the Orbi router. 3. I manually reset both the router and sattellite using a pin. Insert the pin into the reset hole on the back of the Orbi and hold it in for about 5 seconds. A light will start to blink when done. 4. Follow the instructions on the mobil app for a new installation. You will need the password from your label to get back onto the orbi wifi during setup. This process worked for me on my RBK50. I wish everyone the best of luck with this headache. BTW my S8+ is the unlocked version (not sure if this matters).
