Have had an Orbi RBR 50 since 2017 with a base router on the first floor and satellite on the second floor and for the most part it has worked well.  Occasionally have to reboot and synch the upstairs satellite.   A couple of days ago, home WIFI became very unstable with service fluctuating almost by the minute- with it working for a minute and then not working.  I've rebooted and reset several times with no change.   I downloaded the Netgear WIFI analytics app and can see the signal strength fluctuate from a -30db to a -100db.  the change is so fast that I am not able to log into the router to upload software.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  thanks
