WiFi dropping
I had a blackout the other day and since then my work VPN is losing connection periodically, and my security system daily test is showing abnormal WiFi tests. Is their a way to test for issues? Or do...

Thanks guys I'll check this all out. Also I'm using my orbi in AP mode with my Verizon quantum gateway router if that matters. I'm running the latest firmware. I'm on auto channels.

Be sure any wifi on the verizon gateway is disabled fully as well.
Let us know about the other suggestions.

Ok. Also my house is 3900sq ft. Is it better if I hard wired one of my satellite?

Yes you can. https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System
Be sure to disable Diasy Chain on the RBR.

stupid question. My rbr is plugged into a switch on the first floor and the satellite I would hardwire to a switch on the second floor. Would this work?
