Hi and thanks for the reply, Let's say the system works but not great. Sometimes the satellites that are not so far away, so they connect in 5G backhaul, disconnect and then reconnect, then when it happens that the power goes out and then comes back I still have to restart routers and satellites because it struggles to assign IP addresses. Anyway yes if I enter the orbi app or the router gui it notifies me that there is an update. Overall, however, when it is in operation it works well, the WiFi coverage and speed is excellent. thank you.

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.
