Someone here posted a download link to the beta version. I installed it, power cycled and reset the the router. Still flaky. I thought about downgrading but after the reset it checks for new firmware so that’s probably a waste of time. I wonder if getting a different router and using these in bridge mode would work.

What do you mean by still flaky? Whats happening? 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

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.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Is AX mode enabled and CTS at default value or 2347? 

 

If you mean AP mode, yes would be worth trying.

    It’s flaky in that the internet drops and restores. My wife called all day about it. I can see it when I get notifications that the thermostat is offline, etc. Saturday was rock solid. Sunday maybe a half dozen three to five minute drops. Today, off and on all day. I am thinking about down grading firmware, but it will just update automatically. The satellite is connected via Ethernet.

      Please give feedback to the questions presented so we can get a better idea of your envrionment.

      Also is the RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a LAN switch in betwen or is the RBS connecting to the RBR via different method?

      In short:  Orbi only working configuration (even with v4.6.7.5) is: 

      independent router + Orbi system in AP mode with satellites connected with cable for Backhaul. 

      But in this configuration it works without any issues (speed, stability and Mesh tech are fantastic) !
