Orbi RBK33 dropping WiFi Connection constantly - about ready to return it to the store!

Starting distances should be 30 feet to begin with between the router and satellites.
Try setting a manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4ghz.
Try disabling MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming...
Try Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.
Was a full reboot of both router and satellites performed after all was updated?
So far I've done the following
- Disabled MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming...
- Set Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.
- moved the satellites farther apart
It seems to have gotten better with fewer dropouts but it's still dropping connections.
I'm reluctant to set specific channels on my 2.4Ghz as I don't know what else might be in conflict in my house or my neighbors so I think it's important for it to be able to select an open channel when necessary.
I didn't see any other suggestions from the community. Is this the best answer or might there be other things I can do to improve connectivity with my Apple products?
Thanks!
