Orbi router and satellite have been working fine since last summer when purchased. Within in the past 2 weeks, I have noticed I'm having connection issues. We noticed this using the Xbox at first -- and have now noted that in general, there's not consistent internet connection on PCs, phones, etc. Have scoured the internet and cannot find a solutiong.

This is what I am running. Can anyone help?

How big is your home? SqFeet?
Distance between router and satellite? Starting should be 30 feet in between.
Any wifi neighbors near by? Scan and see how many there might be.
What channels are you using? Try 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
Disable MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming...
As Last resort, try a factory reset on the router and satellite and set up from scratch...
