VAJim, I don't think it is the firmware in this case. I installed v2.3.5.30, replacing the newer version that you site as problematic and the issue of the satellite disconnecting, reconnecting or just being static in a sort of limbo happened with v2.3.5.30 which I understand from others is more stable.

It's the firmware. What problem might be caused by having a Sat in a 1400 sq foot home?
Remember this....Problem: My Orbi satellite drops connection to the Orbi router intermittently. This has only recently started (there hasn't been any new wifi connected items since installing Orbi).

If the Orbi has been running fine and you made no changes, then there was a firmware update....? You tell me.
Now that you have v2.3.5.30, you may need (if you haven't already) reboot ALL. Give it a few days.
