Hi I am running orbi in router mode, connecting to the Fios router with wifi off. I am experiencing some slow down and disconnected as well.
So so I can just change the orbi from router mode to ap mode? Can I continue to use thr orbi for wifi with the same ssid/pwd as before? What do I gain and lose if I switch to the ap mode?

If you still have the FiOS router it's usually best to run the Orbi in AP mode anyway. You lose the router functions of the Orbi, but they aren't anything special, and your FiOS router will handle routing.
