The router will connect to one satellite for a while, then the satellite will drop off. I'll have good internet service near the main router for a while, then I will get the no internet connection error, my ring cameras will drop off, and why? who knows?

Past experience has demonstrated that at best this will settle down and work over a few days. At worst -- I'll be shopping for a new system, as my work depends on a stable connection. It's hard to put nto words how extraordinarily frustrating this is.
