You should try the other options first, but FYI if you do eventually decide to factory reset your Orbi then you should not have to reconfigure all your devices. As long as you configure your Orbi with the same wireless SSID, password, and encryption parameters then most or all of your wireless devices will simply reconnect.
It's only when you replace your wireless router with as different model that a small number of devices may need re-setup (despite configuring the same wireless SSID/password/encryption parameters).

Thank you! Yeah I tried the forger network with no luck. I ended up reverting the firmware back on the router and the two satellites. That fixed everything back the way it was. Now unless more firmwares come out, I’m just going to leave it on the older one!
Thanks for everyone’s help!
