I do have beamforming and fast switching, daisy chaining, and MU-MIMO all disabled. Coincidentally, not even an hour after I posted my hopeful post of a few days of uninterrupted service I opened up my iPad and launched the Youtube app and 2 minutes into a video I lost connection to the internet via one of the satellites. Confirmed it wasn't just my iPad by asking my Echo what the temperature was outside and it gave me the tell tale red ring of no connectivety to the internet.
My ISP is Comcast and my cable modem model is TG3482G gigabit capable in bridge mode. The modem connected Orbi router never lost its internet connection.
