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. 40-50 feet max distance.

The guest network on my previous Google WiFi had no issues. It's pretty obviously an issue with the Orbi.
