Solution for ORBI RBK50 constant disconnects
Hi. I thought I'd add a solution to a problem I've been having with my Costco ORBI RBR50 wireless router with two satellites. I see so many people complaining about this problem and Ive struggled w...
Good to hear. Glad that worked. I would do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping.

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.

Like what kind of cheaper and better working alternative?
Something with cables and access points (Ubiquiti, Mikrotik or even Netgear)
I do still miss a lot of features i had on my old WNDR3700 running DD-WRT.
I like the orbi but the price for an RBR50, 2x RBS50 and an RBS50Y is not cheap.
For that pricetag i would expect stabler firmwares you can just installe without having to downgrade or setup from scratch so often.
