You should add this disclaimer:
However, the app will only work intermittently, if ever, because your ORBI will keep dropping the Wifi and internet connection.

This has not been true for me. The Orbi has been more stable than any other router I've had in the past 15 years. I know it's sarcasm, but it's only true for a minority of users on here that the Orbi has been unstable for some unknown reason most likely due to environment.
- Orbi app is useless in AP mode. Why can't the app have the functionality to pause internet in AP mode? Even Circle doesn't work on AP mode.
- I have the satellite in my room n my Xbox1x is hooked up to it thru WiFi. Can I or should I just run a Ethernet cord from the satellite to my Xbox?. And can I tell some how if their is a good clean connection between the router n the satellite.??
Yes, you can ethernet connect the xbox to the satellite.
Check Connected Devcies on the routers web page for status of signal of the Satellite connection. You can check the status as well form the satellites web page as well.

My Orbi app used to provide stats on data useage. but all of a sudden, the history is gone! the Orbi has been up for 70 days so not sure what happened - was there a change made on the app?
