Hi
I am having the same issues.
I have reset the router and satellite a few times now, restarted the installation. Paired satellite.
It works for a while (few minutes) then I can't always see the satellite in connected devices and I can't log into it when I do see it. Devices attached to satellite and it's wifi signal and internet stop working. Have tried in AP and router modes. Have moved satellite closer and further with no difference. Had tech support on the line for an hour. Very frustrating.
Can't believe how this experience is turning out. Is this issue fixable with new hardware or is it an Orbi error??

I am having similar issues, I have two satelliotes. When I sync them, the satellite just keeps flashing white.
All my connected devices (iPhones, iPads) keep losing internet connectivity. This just started happening 2 days ago., I have been trying to reset and re-pair all the connections but to no avail. Can you help?

Hello Krishnaswami
Does the router have the same firmware version as the satellites?
