Also Netgear has a WiFi analyzer app you can use to see what channels are best to use in your neighborhood (I think it is only for Android devices though but very good). I had to do a reset through my ISP so it could clear up any connection issues along with rebooting my own modem, router, and Orbi system. Start with your ISP first to make sure no issues on there end then start checking your own set up until you can pinpoint the issue(s). Also did you customize your Orbi during the set up or did you use the smart wizard to do it for you?

    A good wifi analyser for IOS devices is in Apple Airport Utility, a free Apple app.

    I think it is actually called Netgear Analytics. You can access it through the Google Playstore on Android devices. I don’t think it is available through IOS.

        That is the correct one. Very good app to help determine what the best WiFi channel is in your area.
