Firmware version is V3.2.11.2_1.2.13.
I’m not at it right now, but it’s one of the AT&T Pace modems I believe. I have the Orbi in DMZ+ and all the WiFi turned off.
It’s the same setup as all my previous routers have used. I’m upgrading from a different mesh router because my router died out of warranty and I can’t replace it without replacing the satellites too.

Ah, seen others with problems with Orbi connected to PACE modems and there DMZ before. I recommend you ask your ISP to upgrade your modem to an Arris if possible.
For now, try this, disable the DMZ+ on the PACE modem and configure the Orbi AX RBR for AP mode.

This should fix what your seeing.

It’s not as fast, but I’ve spent a week with bad WiFi with my old device and this now and can’t keep debugging internet problems instead of working.

Ok. Something is happening with your system and your modem then. Others have not seen this issue. Same for me.
Possible you may have a faulty RBR.There is newer FW available that you can try.
