Finally Orbi works like it should RF Power at 100%.
My RBS has picked up 9 clients and has been stable for a few days.
This took way too long for Netgear to figure out.
Yeah my system is now completely stable - it's all working really well at the moment.
My Hop Count issue appears to have been resolved. The satellite has stayed at 1 for nearly a week now. The only time I've seen it go to 255 on this version of the firmware appears to have coincided with an internet outage, so it was probably just a one-off. I've also switched out my last remaining CAT5E cable so the whole run of cabling from the router to the satellite is now CAT6, that may have helped things too. But in general it is all working exactly as it should.
The only niggling issue I have is my laptop, which has an Intel AX200 wifi card and connects via Wifi 6, which occasionally loses speed - I'll run a speedtest and see it's only getting 50Mbps or less, rather than the usual 500+. Other devices completely unaffected and running full speed. Disconnecting the laptop from the network and reconnecting immediately restores full speed. But reading around this seems to be something other people have experienced with the AX200 so I'm not blaming the Orbi for this one, it's just a bit of an irritation.
