On a side note, my router is in my basement (where my office is) and the satellite is on the second floor of the home. I wish I could place them even farther apart but my kids radio monitors cause a lot of interference so I can't separate them more.
I've found that the farther apart they are, the better the device seems to function and the theoretical distance they advertise is not far enough apart for the orbi to function correctly which is odd.
Anyhoo, I'm not sure why these devices function the way they do as I'm no where near as technical as many of you but as a person that likes to tinker with tech, I've found a good compromise to make the system usable with little to no troubleshooting required to keep the network up for the whole family.

I am in router mode as well. In bypass mode through att fiber/uverse router.
The 3 nodes are 35-40ft apart. Main unit is in the basement middle of the house. The other 2 units are at opposite directions on the main level of the house.

Good luck. To be honest If I were you I would have thrown in the towel a long time ago and just bought something else.
