Stability issue
Orbi system is dropping about every 20mins. I've seen a number of posts here with help provided, but also have read different solutions. I've tried some of them and still am having troubles. Interesting to note, that when WIFI drops - it is only my TV's (Samsung), mobile phones and other wireless devices. My ATT wireless cable boxes do not drop offline.
ATT Gigapower, UVERSE (NVG599), 4000sq ft home
coax --> ATT (NVG599) -->Orbi Router (in router mode) -->Ether 1 to media room & ether 3 to office
ATT says their WAP must stay plugged into NVG599 to allow wirelss boxes to work.

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
Whats the distance bewtween the Orib router/satellite and the ISP modem with wifi? You'll need to keep these two as far appart as possible. 6feet to start. This goes for channels between them as well. ISP modem set to 1 and Orbi set to 11.
I recommend this as well, If you can't bridge the modem router combo, configure the modems DMZ or IP Pass Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.

I am within the 30ft recommend. I have the modem set as passthrough. The Orbi router and modem are about 4 inches apart :smileyvery-happy:
dumb question: steps to check Orbi for channel 11?
im on att uverse but with internet/dsl only using a pace gateway. i think im on to something if you can check these settings out. might be different with your device. i changed my tcp session timeout to 1800 seconds for now. restart the gateway/modem if you change that setting. i have written up my findings but need a few more days to verify.
a. pace gateway -> settings -> diagnostics -> nat -> total sessions in use around 6000 or about 75%
b. pace gateway -> firewall -> advanced configuration -> tcp session timeout at 86400 seconds (default)
