So if you saw with with out the Orbi in the mix, I presume it was the changes you did and someting on the PC that seems fixed after you rebooted it.

Yes, was already in bridge mode, with the modem not being used as a router.
Further to the changes you suggested yesterday I reset the modem. In doing so it reverts to the dual modem/router functionailty. I ran it this way for approx. 30 mins (eliminating Orbi from the chain). I reviewed the NetSpot logs and saw exactly the same issues - solid then bouncing. The bouncing started at the moment I was on a videoconference.
I then went back to bridge mode and utilized Orbi. Again, performance was stable until I had another VC, then more bouncing. I tried this a few times and every time the VC kicked off the eratic signal strength.
Next step, I restarted my PC. Everything has been stable for 15 hrs since, including through multiple VCs. I think it's solved. Was it a combination of the changes and a PC restart?
