What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?

All devices are using firmware 2.1.4.16
Modem is a Cisco DPC3008
Satellites are on separate floors, probably about 30 feet.
Square feet: 5000+ (A large arts building)
Tomorrow I will try your suggestions about rebooting and using a different browser.
Thank you.

I don't see any speed drop. Speed is fine. Just the Satellites are not listed where they are expected to be.

The building is pretty old. Who knows what is in the walls.
I will say this: initially the Satellites were listed properly under "connected Satellites" and the "Backhaul status" was listed as "good". That was a few weeks ago.
