Orbi satellite dropping connection
Right to the point: my Orbi system has 2 satellites and 1 main tower. The internet drops/slows down (to the point where internet browsing is not possible) 2-3 times per day randomly without warning o...

24 days and the complaining hasn’t stopped. Finally I took the netgear trash back to bestbuy. Any suggestions on what might work and without the b.s. 24/7 90 day free support which means figure it out yourself. I had it hooked up and the symptoms were some devices worked and others didn’t or didn’t work well. Tonight this thing stopped working altogether. Put the old router back on line, cost =0.
