Hello mbski
Have you upgraded to the latest firmware? Have you tried to sync the unit again?

Yes 1.3.0.12, and if you read my post, it states I have moved the satellite to numerous different locations which require it to be re-synced.

Hello mbski
If you have tried pressing the sync button on both devices and tried moving the unit closer and still getting the same issues I would suggest contacting support so they can troubleshoot and figure out if its a hardware issues or not.

Hello Darren,
I have last week Thursday downloaded the new firmware 1.4.0.34 and rebooted both the Orbi router and satellite.
Until now, almost a week further, the problem did not occur.
When after next weekend the problem did not occur, I think that I can report that the problem is solved with the new firmware.
Kind regard,
Anton
