ORBI RBR20 Satellite Constantly Dropping Internet (With High Packet Loss)
Hi everyone! Been struggling with a high packet loss and constantly disconnecting connection between my router and satellite kit. If I turn off the satellite, the packet loss significantly improves, ...

Thanks Furry!
The two are about 40 feet away from each other. I have performed two factory resets with no avail. Still the satellite consistently disconnects.
Enabling Mu-Mimo did not help, and somehow implicit beamforming reduced my existing speeds to 10 mbps from 300.
Set 2.4 GHz at manual channel 11, and the 5 GHz on 48. Not sure what neighbors are running, and what software to use to find this.
Disabling Daisy chain didn't help either. IPV6 is already disabled. 40 Mhz only: haven't tried that. I'll try it.
But it seems to be some sort of interference or backhaul being overwhelmed? I am going to try reducing transmit power of both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to 50% later tonight, as well as maybe roll back firmware to the pre 2.5 version as well.
I've attached the RST statistics log and can supply the debug log if necessary as well. The modem doesn't appear to have any issues, so I am fairly confident this is not a modem (CM600) or ISP problem. :P I'm also running a CAT 5E cable, and have CAT 6 cables coming in by tomorrow.
Does anybody have any other ideas on what I could do to find out the problem?

Try moving the RBS a bit closer? Try 5 ft increments.
