What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? 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?
What WPA security modes are you using?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

My orbi sattelite is in my bedroom and the connection is not always good to the main unit due to hallways etc. The LED flashes blue/ purple amber non stop all night long and i have to pull the power cord to shut off. Its like a light show in my bedroom. Please let me know what to do to stop this LED Ring from lighting up. Thanks Jim
