I ended up returning the Orbi due to this issue. I could never resolve it and since I work from home this was a show stopper. Thanks for the help Furry.

        I have the same problem. It should not require this much tinkering to get the basic functions of this device to work properly. It’s been over a year and I doubt Costco would let me return it without the packaging and the receipt. Going to try google Wifi.
