Ping/Lag spikes with RBR40
For the last couple of months, we have purchases and been using the Orbi RBR40 with 2 RBW30 Satellites. The router works great except for myself. I play games and stream on a platform called Twitch...

(Please forgive my ignorance)
What platform do you use for gaming? (desktop? laptop? smartphone or tablet?)
How is it connected to the Orbi? (router/satellite, ethernet/wifi)
Thanks

I have a custom gaming pc with on board wifi. My computer is wirelessly connected. We have the orbi router with 2 satellites and nothing is plugged into the ethernet ports on the orbi router. My pc is connected orbi/satellite.

Is the internet modem/wifi/router still operating as a router? is its WiFi on or off?
The Orbi is in "router" or "Access Point" (AP) mode?

It's on Router Mode, we don't have a physical box for the modem. The modem is in a box on the of the house for the internet company use. The weird part is that the internet was fine for me with the router the internet company provided and never had this happen until we got the orbi
