WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.
As stated in a previous post, satellites are ethernet backhaul so it doesn't matter the size of my home or how far apart they are.
I have a netgear CM2000 modem connected to Comcast. Not keen on dropping my serial number on a public forum.
I'm in the process of rebooting everything. I'll post again when this is complete.

actutally wireless or ethernet connected it does make a difference on placement and distance between the RBR and RBS. Why we ask the distance.
Are the RBS directly connected to the RBR? Use what CAT# cable? Cat6 is recommended. If not directly connected, is there a ethernet switch in between? If so, brand and model# please.
Model # of the modem is all thats needed. Serial number was not asked for and is not recommended to post in publc forums.
All have been connected by CAT5E (how the house was wired when I bought it). CAT5e has a maximum range of 328 feet. It's not even close to being that far apart.
After a few more reboots, things appear to be working again. Consistent wireless connectivity. Oh the sweet bliss of notifications from all the devices saying they've lost connection. This is the last time I do a firmware as soon as it's offered. haha.
Thank you for your assistance. Still odd that a modem reboot fixes the Orbi's ability to hand out IP addresses to clients. You live and your learn I guess.
So I wasn't refering to the CAT cable distance, rather the RBS distance from the RBR. What is the distance between the RBR and RBS while ethernet connected?
What channels are you using?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
