What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Firmware Version: V2.5.1.16
AP mode is ON.
modem model:E31T2V1
Size of home: 3000 sqft
Distance between router:
Main rounter in 1st floor.
Satelite in 2nd floor at a vertical height of 10 ft and horizontal diatance of apx: 15-18 ft.
Your modem model doesn't have a built in router or wifi. IF you have your Orbi in AP Mode, this needs to be changed to router mode as there needs to be a router in between the modem and your wifi devices.
The router mode is set. My apologoes for not checking it throroughly

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).Enabled Beam Forming. Did not enable MIMO
Dont know where to change these:
IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes
Restarted the both router and satellite.
The frequency of interruptions is not changed.
