Firestick loses connection to router
I have a frustrating issue with my Firestick 4k. My system is an RBR750 router with 2 RBS750 satellites connected wirelessly in daisy chain (it's a long house). The Firestick is literally 4 feet...
Sorry, I think there's confusion - by "router", I meant the RBR750. Also, the Firestick is the latest model - Firestick 4k Max.
The Orbi is switching the Firestick away from the RBR router, which is very close with no interference, and instead connecting it to an RBS satellite, which is much farther away and has interfering walls in between. I can't understand why a mesh system would do this.

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. IT's up to devices to pick and chose where they connect too.
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try setting 40Mhz only coexistence Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
