Orbi 753 w/ fw v4.6.3.16_2.0.51 satellites dropping
My Orbi 753 system auto updated to fw 4.6.3.16_2.0.51 and now the satellites are dropping connection. I can get them working again by power cycling them. The satellites are hard wired to the router...

RBS7 or 8 series will work.
EAX80 will do in pinch however doesn't integrate like RBS do.

I would keep with one brand of Switch.

OK - I switched and now am using only NG Prosafe GS105E switches and all seems to be stable and working well.
I have 2 satellites in my system and am interested in adding one more device to improve connectivity in a dead spot in the house. What are my options - do I have to buy a third Orbi 750 satellite, or are there other options that you would know of?
Thanks for all your help on this - finally feel like things are going in the right direction. Those switches were probably the cause of the problems I have been having.
