Agree with CrimpOn that it can be some of your attached devices which is impacting the performance of Orbi.

Important to note, nothing is actually running through a direct connection to the router or satellits, everything is wi-fi enabled. I moved my channel to one that was not occupied by my neighboorhood as well.

So, I would try this, factory reset and setup from scratch. This time, set up a different SSID name. This will prevent current wifi devices from connecting to the system. Lets isolate the system from everything else. Wire connect just one PC to the system.

Check for spike.
Let us know what you find here. I'm wondering if there are spikes with mimimal devices connected.
You can change the SSID back to what you had been using.
