Orbi continually causes Win 10 PC WiFi media disconnect

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issues with a new Microsoft Surface 2 laptop (Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller) with latest drivers with RBR40 Orbi router (Latest: Router Firmware Version V2.3.1.48) and RBW30 satellite (latest).
The laptop and router are placed in the living room, the satellite in the hallway. Even though there is a kitchen and walls in between living room and hallway, I see that the laptop sometimes connects to the satellite and loses connection a few minutes afterwards. When it is connected to the router, it also switches between 2.4 and 5 Ghz band.
It looks like moving closer to the router or satellite would lower the effect of the issue.
Fast roaming is deactivated.
A thing I found strange was that the laptop was not recognized as a Windows PC, device model shows "---" and device type first showed "Network device".
Does anybody have an idea?
Kind regards,
T
Edit: the correct name of the laptop is Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 (Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller)
