Is Orbi setup as Router or AP Mode?
Mine is setup in AP mode and I have not run into issue with streaming from Synology NAS or streaming from Netflix/Hulu/etc.,

I didn’t change the mode cause I don’t have another router apart from the Orbi.

AlbertOrbi , your ISP box might act as both a modem and a router. Can you provide the brand and model number for the ISP box that Orbi is connected to?

Does your device do wifi and/or wired Ethernet? Does it have a bunch of ports on the back where you can connect other stuff?
