Hello jefferis ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that your Verizon 4G LTE Network Extender is interfering with your Orbi Mesh Network. This could be due to a high transmit power on your 4G LTE Network Extender.

Thank you for the suggestion. I lowered the broadcast to 40% on the Network extender and it did not seem to make a difference. I ran a test with software called Ultra Wifi, and it seems that my connection from my mac to my Orbi router is 70 down and 8 up, Ping is 122 and RPM is 61, over wifi.
I can't tell from the interface if it is just testing local network or is testing my Internet speed. Every other test I run in a browser (Speedtest.net, Fast.com) shows a much slower connection.
