Orbi RBK50 (1+2) Wifi Performance

When you had the wired back haul running, did you have Diasy Chain Checked enabled or disabled? 

Just wondering. 

IT's not recommended to have a 2nd layer NAT as this can cause problems with other apps and devices. You could set the Orbi in AP mode and use it with your main host router keeping a single NAT layer configured. Even use wired backhaul for this as well. 

For wired back haul tip:
Set up IP address reservations for each satellite and devices on the router as you add them to the router. The satellites need to be set up via wireless first. Then connect 1 satellite at a time to the ethernet LAN cable. Wait 5 minutes and the top led on the satellite should turn on BLUE. Set up an IP address reservation for the 1st satellite. Continue to do the same thing for the 2nd satellite. Then follow up with your devices.

I made some changes on my home network recently, apparently that resolved the issue. what I have done is adding another router between RBK50 and the modem, basically RBK50 became my second layer of NAT, I kept all my kids' devices & majority of my wifi devices on the RBK wifi network, and moved all wired devices behind the first router, I also disconected the wired backhaul to one of the saterlite Orbi router (now I think most likely the wired backhaul caused my issue). I will have to try to remove the first router and keep the wireless backhaul to confirm it at a later date.
