Bandwidth/Picture Resolution fade in and out
Not sure of the model...router is RBR40...triband. No questions seem to be quite like my issue. The Orbi Mesh is awesome but still has a issue I would like to understand. When watching TV, period...

Ask the ISP about disabling the wifi radios on the ISP modem. Most most have this ability to disable there radios.
Sounds like you have WAY too much wifi signals running about and is causing problems.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have made most of the mods to my setup and have let the Orbi system operate for a couple of days. The system now seems to be stable...but I am still back to the Firesticks. Have not solved the issue of the Smart TV no longer connecting to the mesh network as it had before. The backhaul bandwidth change to 40Mhz and eliminating the two competing modem wireless networks seems to have resolved the conflicts that were impacting the Orbi mesh network.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
