I'm having the same problem with my Harmony Remote Hub. It simply won't connect to the Orbi network reliably even though the signal is strong. Twenty other devices in my house work fine, but the Harmony Hub won't work. It looks like I'll have to return the Orbi. :(

I am going to call Netgear to see if the have can help me with these workarounds.
