Who is your ISP and what equipment did they provide?
What is the current firmware on your Orbi device?
What device is your Orbi router connected to?
Did you reboot your ISP modem/router, before starting the Orbi router install?
The RBK50 may be too powerful for your 1000 Sq ft apartment. An RBK20 would be better, as you may be experiencing the router and satellite are too close to each other.
Try just running the RBR50 router with these settings:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
