Hello,
I just noticed some of my IoT devices were also being disconnected randomly because of my Satellite disabling its 2.4 GHz channel.
I followed your instructions and disabled the 20/40 MHz Coexistence. I'll update in some days whether it worked or not for me too!
Thanks for posting so I could find an answer to my issue 🙏🏻.
PS: I don't know about you guys but my Orbi Satellite is connected under Ethernet Backhaul. I don't remember experiencing such issues back when it was connected to the router via its 2.4 GHz proprietary channel. It might be related?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?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.
https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 📡Is the RBS connected directly being the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between?
What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
Any progress on this?
