Ring Door Bell/Orbi issues

I have put up with the problem with Live View for two years caused by some issue between my Orbi and my three Ring Doorbell cameras.  Works fine except Live View does not work after the doorbells disconnect fromt the network.  I realize this is a power saving feature for the battery on the Ring device but I have all three hard-wired and don't need that feature.  Attempts to get Netgear and Ring to do the unheard of and actually work together to fix the problem and publish a fix (firmware upgrade, whatever) have failed.   I have tinkered with the router settings endlessly and sometimes it works for awhile, usually after the router and doorbells are rebooted but then the same problem comes back.   Has anyone found a permanent solution other than changing equipment.   My next move is to abandon my investment in Ring and Netgear equipment and buy equipment and devices from other companies. Once you lose my business, i will never be back.
