Will have to wait for your pics to get approved.
Whats the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem your using?
For DNS, have you tried using 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 for DNS on the Router?

I wanted to provide some performance testing results for the latest firmware. I honestly don't know if these are good because I don't know what expectations I should have over Wi-Fi.
Setup:
The server is a Windows 10 PC running xjperf 2.0.2 wired into a RBS50 Satellite running 2.1.4.16 firmware.
The client is a Windows 10 laptop running the same version of xjperf, but is wireless to the same satellite.
I first performed an internet speed test from the wired PC:
The results are consistent with what I am paying for from internet provider (200Mbps/5Mbps).
I then setup xjperf to transfer a 1GB file from the client to the server and ran the test three times. Please note that both devices are running NMVe M.2 storage devices so storage read/write times are not a limiting factor in this test. This was the result from LAN speed test:
In 3 tests, the file took between 22-25 seconds to transfer and you can see the thruput on the graph above. Again, I don't know if this what I should expect from two devices connected to the same satellite, one wired, one wireless. I just wanted to provide some feedback.
Overall, the connection has been fairly stable. I had to reboot the router once when devices would refuse to connect to certain websites. I verified that DNS was working properly by running nslookup from the affected devices, but then they would timeout attempting to load data. Rebooting the router fixed the issue and the connection has been good for a day again.

My cable modem is a Hitron CGNM-2252 with the resedential gateway function disabled. The Orbi is performing all the routing, dhcp, etc. For DNS, I am using the OpenDNS servers.

Ok, just checking. Those modem router combo can effect connected routers.
Sounds like it should be working well then...
