Disconnects from satellite on chromecast
I have an Orbi with 1 satellite. Until today everything seemed to work fine. The issue I'm having today is that my Chromecast which is connecting to the Satellite automatically (the Satellite is about 40-50ft from the router) is randomly dropping connection. If I disable the Satellite it connects to the router and everything works fine. If I plug the Satellite in it connects to it and will drop within 30 minutes. I have the latest firmware and did a factory reset. Any ideas or troubleshooting tips? I have two Chromecast and both exhibit the same problem when plugged in at this location with the satellite on so I know I don't just have a bad chromecast.
Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

Try moving the satellite closer to the router.

Re: Disconnects from satellite on chromecast
Theres lots of post about the latest firmware having issues 1.12.0.18....see if you have that one. I had problems with the amazon echo dropping off of the wifi prev stable. I believe its firmware related. Switching amazon to guest orbi network seems to have stopped. Others have suggested downgrading firmware and blocking updates will help

The satellite was closer, about 20 ft, so I moved it further thinking that could help. Neither make a a difference.

Yes that is the firmware I have but I'm not sure how to roll back or disable updates.

See page number five of the thread called 1.12.0.18 discussion.
It's a little involved but not too bad and solve my problems of the dropping amazon echo of the network every few minutes
