Hmm, I see my SB6190 listed as a bad modem. It would be odd in my mind if issues with the modem caused some clients to loose internet and not others, but as this modem looks problematic and I have an older modem that should run as fast as my ISP specs I will swap that out first and give it a try. In the interest of speed I will also turn off daisy-chain. This may kill my performance upstairs but it is worth a test. MU-MIMO, Fast Roaming and BEAMFORMING are all off, I hadn't looked at turning them on and they seem off by default. Thanks for the pointers, I'll start here and see if I can improve things. I have a gut feeling about daisy-chain, though that not working would bite. I can try to work out a better setup, but I was counting on not pulling cable up from the basment, and placing the satilites where I need wired connections. Hence the dual satilite setup (with all the $$$)!

I would try to get the Orbi router up on the main floor if possible. Then place the satellite(s) were needed. Starting distance recommended is 30 feet in between.
You can leave beamforming enabled. This shouldn't impact performances. I have it enabled on mine.
