Router solid Magenta in AP Mode - Fix yet?
So in the interest of not being "that guy" I've just read through basically every post I can find concerning this and still have no resolution that I can find. I've got an Orbi Router in AP mode ...

I would remove the MoCA adapter and test.
Also your Linksys switch will be a bottleneck since it's only rated at 100Mb. I would get into something 1000Mb since the Orbi system supports 1000Mb.
There are cheap unmanaged switches out there that support 1000Mb.

I am using an older LinkSys/Cisco unmanaged 10/100 16-port switch. Seems to work fine for all my devices.
One of my satellites backhaul is connected to Ethernet via a MoCA adapter. I wonder if that is creating a problem in getting a good backhaul connected.
I need to try a few more test to see if moving the Satellite to another Ethernet drop address the issue.

Since my FiOS Internet service is 50 Mbps up/down, I am not sure how getting a 1000 Mbps switch is going speed things up.
What brand/model of an unmanaged switch are you using?

Even so your bottlenecking your LAN side though with the 100Mb switch.
I use a few of these sprinkled around my network: D-Link DGS-105/108. Cheap on Amazon.
