WARNING: Firmware 2.2.1.210 is junk
If you're dealing with poor WiFi performance, frequent disconnects and so on, you aren't alone, there are various other threads on this topic. Here's what you need to know:
Check if your Orbi...
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
This worked for this user, Try a Manual FW load:

Thanks for the links. Since the last update, I have had to turn off my satellite as it was continuously disconnecting. The previous firmware worked fine.
Hey FURRYe38, please do not hijack this thread for troubleshooting, thanks.
UnhappyOrbiUser that guys the worst. get rid of the Orbi, like I and others did. It's painful and not worth the headache.
