Wow!!! Orbi Firmware V2.0.0.72 Released
Just logged into my router and it gave me the option to upgrade the firmware.
Have now Upgraded to V2.0.0.72
Haven’t had too much time to explore but early indications are WOW !!!
...
do you have connection drops when your further away from the router?
If I'm far from router means I'm nearer to the Satellite.
Either way I do encounter the WIFI drops occasionally.
- I know if your within 3-5ft of the router it has issue connecting and low bandwidth. My tv is directly above the satellite and it will never connect to it. If I move it to the next outlet on the floor it connects just fine. It’s probably not your issue but just covering all the bases

Works great, higher average transfer rate than having the TV use wireless.

in general its never a great idea to have any wireless router near a tv as the emf radiated can cause issues with the wifi , the metal case of the tv also blocks the signal
wireless AC ( and 5 gig in general ) is pretty powerful but also pretty sensitive , in my testing you get far better results when the clint device is more than 3 meters from the transmission to avoid overload conditions
