Orbi Intermittent Internet issues

I have a 2-unit Orbi installed in AP mode connected to my switch on FiOS. I had an Asus 68U router before and never experienced a interruption to the internet.

 

Orbi works just fine, then it just stops routing to the FiOS router at 192.168.1.1 - when this happens I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 but when things are working pings do work fine.

 

Is there something wrong?? It fails for 15-30 seconds and so far has come back by itself... logs do not show anything.

  • Turn off implicit beamforming??? That seems to be one of the leading causes of pain for folks with Orbi so far.

      And where doI find that? I don't remember seeing any setting for it

        I found the settings..... both beamforming and MU MIMO are off
