Hi Wizec
Could you please help us to provide more info?
- What is the distance between router and satellite? I mean the physical disatance between SXR80 and SXS80?
- Please share the firmware version installed on RBK53 and SXK80?
- Please provide RSSI value for the link status.
- Share the mode detail of your Apple TV and AC clients.
- Need your deployment diagram as well.
- And lastly we need debug files. Please go to https://< IP address of SXR80/SXS80>/debug.htm, Click on start capture and then wait for the issue to happen before saving debug logs. Send me the link to download via PM.
Thanks,

Hi Wizec
Do you have any input for my previous queries?
You need to move around Satellites for the better performance.
The antenna is not same between SXK80 and RBK53.
So you need play with router and satellite placement.
Also make sure you only one Orbi Base in your network at a time. Dont put RBK53 router and Orbi 6 router at the same time.
Feel free to reach us if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Thanks, but absolutely not. I spent half a day fighting this garbage. My time is with more than that to me.
I will not spend over $800 on a "professional" WiFi system upgrade that has admittedly worse antennas and WiFi range than a 4yr old consumer product. Get real.
I've already returned the product. I'm done with Netgear as a brand. First impressions are the most important. Netgear releases beta quality, inferior products and charges sky high prices.
