I would be tempted to do a "Quick Factory Reset" on the router. i.e.
- Save a copy of the configuration. (On the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Administration menu, Backup Settings.
- Do the paperclip routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMw4ePACgc4
- Begin the setup using a web browser (not the 'app')
- Do not change the WiFi SSID/password. (This keeps devices from connecting and possibly getting an IP address that will conflict with any settings you have made.)
- Proceed until you come to the step that asks if you want to
* Continue with configuration, or
* Load a saved configuration - Select "Load a saved configuration" and do so.
- The router will reboot and all of the previous settings will be restored. (The LAN setup table, the SSID/password, everything.)
This process takes under 15 minutes. (With all the changes I have made, a manual configuration takes over two hours.)
Might result in no improvement, but the investment of time is minimal.
