So, currently running 4.6.3.16 thru my RBK852"s. I've noticed that this version doesn't seem to handle my satellite very well. Most everything seems to be running thru my Router, whereas I've got my Ring Pro, 6 feet from the satellite and it still wants to run thru the router instead, which is about 25 feet away.
I've heard the FW 4.6.6.11 uses the satellite better than the newer 4.6.7.5.
All seems normal when I go to orbiligin.com. Satellite is synced perfectly and I've made no other modifications to my settings.
Do you think I should give the 4.6.6.11 FW a try?

I had many issues with the default firmware, si I have upgraded to 4.6.7.5 (which is not officialy released), I has fixed some bugs (ethernet backhaul in port 1 of the router in AP mode was not working).
Since, I have many disconnections without any reason, My PC, my macbook are loosing the Wifi very ofter, so now I give up, I lost too much time on this, I work from home and I can't wait for a stable firmware to be released.I though buying the most expensive system would be the best but, it looks like this product is not mature yet...
Parcel are on the way back to amazon.

I was given a debug version a couple of months ago but honestly haven’t had a single instance of satellite drop out / reboot since.- tjtrimbleJan 24, 2022Luminary

I agree, 4.6.6.11 has been rock solid for me. The only question I have is about the memory usage....seems to be always using more and more. It started out using about 300MB and has grown about 10MB a day. I'm not sure if its something I need to be concerned about.

Same here, decided to unplug it all last week (no returns possible after 3 months).
AX XT8 ordered, installed and working stable out of the box. Has a lot of options you've asked for: Acces control, Disable specific radio's, binding clients to specific AP's, ...
After three months of messing with the network now done in 2 days. Slightly slower but better coverage.
I just could not get the Orbi stable in AP mode and I need AP mode here. Even retructured the network to get is stable, did help but not enough and should not be necessary (and wasn't as it now turns out with different hardware).
Homekit is finally stable and the household is happy. Expensive decision but glad i finally pulled the plug.
