Orbi satellite dropping connection
Right to the point: my Orbi system has 2 satellites and 1 main tower. The internet drops/slows down (to the point where internet browsing is not possible) 2-3 times per day randomly without warning o...
I had the 6000 model and my house is approx. 2750 sq. ft. It can’t be it works for a day then not. Position has nothing to do with why it doesn’t work. I wasn’t getting performance at the satellite nor the router. It’s called JUNK. I can’t believe it has gotten great reviews from what I considered reliable reviewers. Take it back and walk away.

When I had the problem with my satellite and router losing sync because they were too far apart, it would only happen every 2 or 3 days. After I moved the satellite about 10' closer to the router (from my living room to the dining room *smile*), it was solid. So yes it can work for a day and then lose it. If your placement is marginal, then when the wireless strength dips below a certain level (wireless is variable strength), that's it.
I'm not saying that's the problem, just something to look at.
