How do users deal with devices constantly flitting between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and the dropouts? 

 

I've noticed intermittent interference on the 2.4Ghz range so I wish i could encourage devices to hang out on the 5Ghz spectrum.

I have not observed this with my devices.  If they are close enough to use 5Ghz, they consistent connect using 5Ghz.  Furthermore, there is no reason for them to reconnect if the 5Ghz connection stays up (which it does).

I would focus on fixing the stability issues you have with your 5Ghz connections.  I don't think your issues are related to 2.4Ghz or separate SSIDs for 2.4Ghz vs. 5Ghz.  Are you using a fixed 5Ghz wireless channel, not Auto?  Do you see disconnect from all 5Ghz devices or only certain ones/types (if specific type then we check for their settings)?  How far away are these devices from the Orbi base or satellite?

Is your Orbi uptime as reported in http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm staying high so the instability is with the wireless (not Orbi rebooting)?  Does the problem go away if you power down all the satellites or all but one satellite (if yes then you may have too many, too close, interfering with each other)?
