Can you confirm that your using v2.1.3.4 FW?
What is the Mfr and model of the Modem/ONT for Verizon?
I recommend NOT putting the Orbi router on top of any other electronic devices, this would include the FIOS modem. This could cause interferences. Keep 3 feet between devices.
Recommend 30-40 feet distance between router and satellite minumum. As the router alone can cover up to about 30 feet. YOu don't want any over lapping wireless signals between the router and satellite. You might reduce the Satelllite count by one and test. I have a 5000sq ft home and have the router and 1 satellite. Great coverage and range. 40 ft distance in between.

My firmware is V2.1.2.18 and when I go to "Admin" it shows that my router and 2 satelites have the newest one and I checked it a couple times by clicking the "update". I assume there is one that I will have to manually load??
The modem is a Verizon Fios. ONT I-211M-K . that is the only manufacturers name and model on it. Made in May 2013.
