Hello Supergate , Best to tell everyone how your Orbi is connected to broadband with details such as service tier, make and model of modem/gateway, and if the Orbi is configured as router (default) or access point .
One simple suggestion I will make is, with that many satellites you have Ethernet ports beaucoup. As such, connect as many devices as you can wired. I've done this with most of my FireTV boxes and my AppleTV. Some devices obviously need to remain wireless . For the Amazon streaming boxes which do not have a native Ethernet connection, an adapter exists that goes on sale for $10 at times . I'd also work to make any gaming devices be hardwired as well .
Is the Orbi itself setup with default settings?
