My current set up is;
Model ORBI RBR50
Firmware V2.7.3.22
Virgin hub 3.0< The ISP modem you have has a built in router and wifi alredy. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopTry option #2 first....

I went to http://orbilogin.net/QOS_wmm.htm and unselected wmm WMM: Wi-Fi Multimedia enhances quality of service on wireless LAN by prioritizing data packets
Seemed to fix the issue without having to roll back firmware.

i watch netflix all the time on Chromecast and sometimes on the dish network tuner netflix app - no issues. Make sure your router or satellite isn't too far from the device.
I have : everything default I didn't change the WMM. OpenDNS parental control (if you're using circle try disabling that?). Also turn OFF fast roaming but leave these checked
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices |
Enable MU-MIMO |
