Wifi extender for Orbi RBR50?
I have stability problems with one pair of Sonos speakers wifi connected to my network. All other Sonos speakers in various locations throughout the house work fairly well. My system is an Orbi RBR50...

I would expect the WiFi signal strength standing about 3-4 feet from an RBR50 to be in the range of -32dB to -35dB. A reading of -45dB seems a bit low. (but still "excellent") a reading of -75dB counts as "not good".
If the problem has disappeared, then moving the speaker 12 feet appears to be the solution.

do you have good coverage throughout the home other than the sonos?
Sonos devices are notorious for issues with mesh systems.
I'd check with their forums and see if there's any optimal settings.
Like I know that if you have a sonos bridge, they prefer it attached to the primary router and not a satellite. That type of thing
