What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
30 feet is recommended in between the base Orbi and satellites to begin with depending upon building materials.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.
When using a MESH system, it's recommended to not have any other wifi AP sources running in the home. The lone Orbi system will be sufficiant for wifi if set up well and placed well throughout the home.
I can't say any thing about 4K streaming as I don't have anything that supports 4K. I do have a DISH Hopper system thats connected with 3 Joeys and 2 game consoles. With all the reast of my items, the Orbi system I have worked well. I've always streamed wired and prefer wired for any video streaming. Less hassle and problems for this vs wifi streaming.
