In AP Mode, Orbi depends much on the routing capabilities of the main router (the ISP router). The issues you describe look like routing issues.
Does your router allow reserving DHCP addresses for the devices? If yes, I would reserve IP addresses in the ISP router -at least- for the Orbi Router and Satellites.
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the Orbi nodes are getting their IP addresses from the DHCP server in the ISP router. However, I see the Orbi main router does discover the addresses of the satellites and they show up properly in the devices list every time. I would have thought this would be resilient to any change in DHCP assignment.
Regardless, I'll give this a try and report back. Thank you for your assistance.
