RBR50v2 AP connection dropping

I have my Orbi router attached to my SP router (which is connected to the SP modem) in AP mode. I’m experiencing connection problems when there are separate devices connected to the 2 different networks. Changing the network fixes the problem.

It looks like the connection only works when ALL devices are connected to one of the networks. I just replaced my modem and router today and before I had a Modem/Router combo and didn’t experience this issue. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

    The best setup would be to remove the SP router, unless you absolutely need the SP router and connect the Orbi router directly to the SP modem and run the Orbi in Router mode.  ..
