Satellites keep disconnecting after reboot
So far, this product has been terrible. Out of the box, everything works great. But when I change settings (mainly reserve IPs) and the system reboots, the two satellites flicker in between blue and m...
Ya if you can't connect to 5Ghz at that range something is wrong. Hopefully a new system will work better.

bought this open box from Amazon and they wont replace the unit... also Netgear wont honour the warranty because the original ower had already registered it. SOL for me.
thx FURRYe38
Or it’s my house... I’ve used the following systems without success and poor speeds and connectivity:
Netgear RBK23
D-Link COVR-3902
Netgear R8000
TP-Link 2600AC

D-Link COVR-3902

Whats the building materials of the home? Any old plaster and any lead paint? I have a friend whos house is older 50s style home. Appears to be some lead based paint layers. Wifi signal has had problems with Orbi and some COVR systems. Basement and walls are concrete so this doesn't help either. The COVR 3902 seemed to work best as a trial run.
You may want to try a 50 series Orbi as they have more power. The 20 series I tired in there home didn't work well.
our home was built in 2010, its not old by any means! just so many dead spots that really cripple the network
What is the layout of your home?
You might try a 50 series Orbi instead of a 20 series.
- Open concept, 1200 sqft per level.
I may just reroute my router to the garage at one corner opposite my family room, so I can add a satellite and hardwire the AppleTV. This configuration will place the main router directly below the office too. Be sure that there is 30 feet in between the RBR and RBS or approximately in that range to begin with.
Try swapping RBS locations to see if the problem follows or not.
