Orbi RBK40 not working with Chromecast Audio

I just set up my Orbi RBK40 system, and configured my Chromecast Audio to connect with the new mesh wifi.  It worked great for a day, and then Chromecast Audio lost the connection (got kicked out by the Orbi wifi).  I reset the Chromecast Audio and got it connected again, it worked great for several hours, but then lost the connection again.  Are there settings that can be changed in Orbi that will allow Chromecast Audio to work with the mesh wifi?

    And does anyone know if connecting a Chromecast Audio by ethernet to an Orbi satellite will solve the problem of the Chromecast connection getting dropped/blcoked after a day or two?

      In the advanced wireless settings you may want to try and test the mumimo and beamforming settings and see if this helps the chromecast at all.
