So, I think this is the end of the road for me and Orbi.  I love lots about it, but I need stability.  I've read a lot about others complaining about the self-rebooting and never seen an aswer that I feel aligns with my situation, and I've sunk too many hours learning and troublshooting Orbi.  I'm selfish - I want it to work for me and I feel like I've been working for it.

 

Thanks again for all those that helped me.  You are a great community.

I perform lots of flawless installs, of Orbi systems, for Spectrum ISP customers. Not to offend, but most problems are because of user configuration errors or defective devices out of the box. 

If you want your RBK system  to work flawlessly, remove ISP and other router, and plug your Orbi into the ISP modem box with at least a Cat5e cable. Reboot the ISP modem, Reset the Orbi router and satellites, and perform a new install, (I prefer using the app for ease and portability), letting the Orbi initially configure itself. Don't get fancy and try to put your own DNS or IP addresses in. Just follow the instructions. The Orbi will be in router mode.

Or, remove any router after the ISP router. Reset the Orbi router and satellites. Plug the Orbi router into the ISP router's LAN port, using at least a Cat5e cable. Perform a new install, letting the Orbi initially configure itself. Put the Orbi in AP mode. 

Then you can tweak for stability.
