Android devices (oreo and above) causing mass chaos on orbi networks

So we just confirmed what we've been reading online, if you have an orbi network and an android phone and you are having problems with your smart home, sonos, streaming, slow speeds, online gaming, etc... turn off your phone's wifi.  Then see if it all comes back online... ours did.  We were having mass choas problems with connections and slow speeds and thought it was all becuase of the netgear update, but once we turned off that phone, everything is perfect again, all satellites showing up, everything running fast, sonos working again.

  • It is definitely not just limited to Oreo and above. My Samsung note 8 running Android 7.1 crashes the router all the time.
