Intermittent drops on 2.4ghz
So I noticed i'm gettign a fair amounts of drops on the 2.4ghz band on my Orbis. Not getting the drops on the Fios router. I have tried changing the channels(1,6,11) to no avail. The Orbi is in AP mode. Are the any changes that I can try? I moved my wirless phone away from te satelite.

Also I should mention that under advanced settings everything is enabled.
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?You may want to try and lower the power out put of the Orbi radios by lowing from 100% to 75 or 50%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Not seen on Orbi AX.Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).Hi,
Not sure if this applies to AP mode or not (apologies), but I have been experiencing drop outs due (I think) to suspected DoS attacks. Once I disabled that protection, the WiFi signal (on all bands) held up more reliably.

Wouldn't effect the RBR in AP mode unless the offending attacker new the IP address of the RBR while in AP mode.

Thanks, one new thing im trying is to turn off the wireless on my router. Just using Orbi in AP mode. Maybe the to wireless singles were interfering with each other?
