Status lights in the Network Map of the Orbi App
Note: this is NOT a question about the lights in the Orbi satellites themselves.
I have the AC3000 system, RBR50 router and two satellites. Setup went pretty much as expected, with not problems...

I would move the satellites a bit farther away. The main router can handle up to about 30 feet by itself.
Mines 40 feet in between in my 5000 sq ft home.

I have moved the router around so broad side is facing satelitte, I reset the satelitte to factory settings and moved it about a foot closer to router. I have a weatherboard house and live in Australia. So far after reset and changing positions of both I have had good backhaul for 14 hrs. I haven't diabled fast browsing or MIMO yet as I don't want to mess anything up now it's good. I have however got slower speeds since the upgrade to 2.1.4.16

Ok, hope it works better.
I would disable MIMO, Daisy chaing and fast roaming. It wont hurt anything to test with them disabled. Try this later on.

Thanks, I have daisy chain disabled, I'll wait till morning before messing with any other settings.
