    I will mark it as solved, but I don't know if it is completely true. As they say, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence... or, it is hard to prove a negative.

    It is a fact that I have not had the same Internet disconnects issue so far, after 3 weeks, so that may be cause of optimism

So far, my new Orbi 772 system, with FW release 10.5.18.3, has been remarkably stable for about 3 weeks.

The router is connected to the satellite via wireless backhaul. I have two Dell XPS desktop computers connected to the LAN ports of the router and about 14 wireless devices (two laptops on main network and a number of smart appliances, cameras, etc. on IoT) distributed between the router and the satellite.

Aside from a minor issue with reporting networking status in MS File Explorer, which may actually be a quirk of MS Windows 11, I have not found any show-stoppers, but I continue to monitor closely.

 

I have elected not to take the new FW release 10.5.19.5 yet, since the system seems to be working, at least in my relatively simple application. I also want to see the feedback from other users of the new FW, before taking the plunge.
