Lets try a full factory reset on the router and set up from scratch.
Also try this as well:
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Any other wifi broadcasts near by?

I can try the Factory reset later, however as I wrote in the first posting
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming have all been disabled.
I also mentioned that I already changed my Wifi to another channel so there isnt any conflict with neighbors.
However same idea here with Wifi or channel conflicts. Lets say you have a Wifi conflict or same channel, it should at worst disrupt your Wifi, right? But it should not effect your Ethernet connected devices. You see what I mean. But the entire Orbi restarts its software. So same thing I was saying before, Wifi settings should have no effect on physical ethernet connected devices.
