Hello dimikagi ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having disconnection issues with your Google Pixel 9 on your Orbi network. Due to other devices working on your Orbi network, it is best to tweak some settings on your Google Pixel 9. Please try navigating to settings > Network&internet> Internet> tap the gear icon next to the Orbi wireless network name> Privacy> then "Use device MAC".
Best,
Kevin
