If the doorbell is working fine, you can probably just leave it. If it's not working well, then you can try reducing the power on the Orbi, especially the 2.4 GHz band. That will drop to -70 RSSI down farther, and should help prevent the doorbell from switching.

It's back on the satellite ATM. It seems to be switching back and forth no clue why, no conditions have changed. The app informs me that the signal is bad and it degrades the video quality when connected to the router.
Is this orbi web gui compatible with Chrome?

Did you try my suggestion of reducing power on the Orbi?
