Odd Internet Issues - Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 System
Hi, I've been successfully using a Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 System - AX4200 - 3 pack (RBK753) for about a year, but for several weeks now, I am experiencing annoying problems with one of the satellites. ...

Try the wireless adapter. You can always add a ethernet adapter as well. Most on board or built in adapters I find work ok but add-ons can be more stable.

They are the latest drivers supplied by Intel, recently downloaded.
I have a support ticket in with MSI to see if they have an suggestions on offer. This wasn't an issue a few months ago, it's not uncommon for onboard soundcards and ethernet adapters to fail.
I have a wireless adapter I could test with, but not ethernet.

Definitely seems to be the motherboard on-board Intel gigabit Ethernet adapter that was intermittently failing.
New wireless adapter is working flawlessly. Kind of silly to have wireless a few inches from the satellite, but if I ever move this desktop, wireless will be less limiting.

You can put in a ethernet adapter as well. Glad the wifi adapter is working though.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Indeed, but I'm running out of PCIE slots, and one is disabled by the second NVME drive since they share lanes. Plus, don't want to choke out the fans on my graphics card. 🙂
Someday, I may switch it out, but speeds are comparable due to all the wireless backhauling to the basement anyway.
I will mark resolved, thank you.
