Orbi 772 Satellite disconnects
At the end of last November, I started a thread about a problem I was experiencing with the Orbi satellite I had just purchased as part of an RBE772 system (Internet access frequently dropped at Orbi RBE770 Satellite | NETGEAR Communities, https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-orbi-be/internet-access-frequently-dropped-at-orbi-rbe770-satellite/2406749).
At that time, NETGEAR Support was not able to resolve the issue, and I had to return the system within the 30 day return window.
That system had Firmware release 10.5.13.1.
Does anyone know if that problem has been resolved with the latest release 10.5.18.3? The release note is not clear to me about what problems were solved.
I would like to purchase the same system again, because its functionality fits my needs, but will not buy it again unless I know the disconnect problem has been solved.
Thanks

I had my 773 series online earlier this year and hadn't seen any issues with RBS failing to get internet and devices connected at the RBS. Others haven't posted recently of having issues with there RBS. I know there were some having issues at the RBS cauing bad latency every hour. Something I could not reproduce with my system while I had it online.
I see there is newer FW for the 870 series which the 770 series should be on case base code so I'd expect something for the 770 past v.18.3...Just not sure if or when anything newer will appear.
Something to give another try.
Sounds like you think it may be safe to try and purchase again the RBE772, correct?
Yes. Up to you though.
