Good to hear. Glad that worked. I would do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping.

Well so far so good!!

-2.4 was on Auto. switched to 1
-MIMO was disabled...enabling
-Preamble was on Auto. Changed to Short
Not sure which of these did it but its been 5 hours and i havent been kicked, or seen any drop-offs. I'm using the Google Chrome Internet Connection Monitor add-in to keep a log of any WIFI interruptions
Thank you Furrye38 so much!!

Thanks again. No more dropoffs and the wired backhaul has made my satellites blazing fast and strong signal

All well, but a wired backhaul is NOT the intention of a Mesh network which the Orbi claims to be.
Then there are cheaper and better working alternatives available.
It's ok as a backup solution where a wireless backhaul is not possbilbe or working well
I recommend either trying newer version of FW or reverting back to v16;
Be sure to factory reset the system and setup from scratch after the FW has been applied...
Wired backhaul is most certainly apart of a MESH system, for users that have wired installation support.
