Android & 2nd Gen Firesticks dropping off network?
Also noticed that my 2nd generation Firestick is also reporting 'no network' at regular intervals.
I'm running the latest firmware version available on both the router and satellite. Just not sure where to start troubleshooting this issue.
For the price of this system I didn't expect any basic connectivity issues that I'm experiencing which is disappointing.
Any help appreciated!!!

Just a thought: There was a known Android issue, that Google has theoretically fixed. Can you update your phones firmware? If locked check on the availabilty of a update with your company. Unsure about the firesticks.

Re: Android & 2nd Gen Firesticks dropping off network?
My phone has no problems with disconnects on any other wifi systems...
Are there any log or debug files on the Orbi that might help in diagnosing the root cause of this issue?

The fix from Google wasn't an Android OS update, but rather, and update for the Google Play Services app. If you have that, make sure it is the most recent version.

My problem unfortunately still exists. Pretty disappointing really considering how much this Wifi system cost. I'm struggling to understand why my Android handset works on every other Wifi system I use but not the Orbi?

Try diabling Beamforming and MIMO on the router...see if this helps any.
