Mesh keeps dropping ALL connections
We have the RBR 750 with two satelites. I have to say this is THE absolute worst tech product i have ever bought. Everything is just so extremely complicated to do. With most ethernet product its just plug and play when using a cable connection, but with these? Oh NO,, NOTHING have just worked right away even with cable. And all connections Cable and wifi keeps dropping every single day, sometimes i can get it back up and running after spending a good hour or two rebooting everything.
And strange things like my Iphone is connected to the orbi network, but it shows no wifisymbol at the top?? And when entering the app it says ”no connection” to router, but data transfer works just fine, everything about this product is just a nightmare!!
Getting my robot vacuum to connect to this network took a good 3 hours of pure agony. Im guessing this has to be hardware failure somewhere, a premium product like this just can not be this incredibly bad., Extremely disapointed!!

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
