Armor is disabled, or not on because I don't have a subscription. I have not tried disabling IPv6 yet but will and report back. Will also try the other settings as well.
I am also seeing disconnects now on other smart devices, Ring alarm being one and my VOIP phone.
Sometimes when I log into the orber app I notice that some devices are not connected, but I would think they should be. For instance the August locks, Ring doorbell and some smart lights. Should they all always show connected? Is it normal to see some devices not connected?
What happens if you move the RBS out a bit farther? Say 35 feet?
Try setting CTS to 2347 Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.
I have moved the main router and turned off the satelite. I will wait a few days and see if this helps at all. I am starting a list of other things to try, so thanks for all the suggestions.

So you have NETGEAR79 as a SSID name? Change it to something else. Something unique and different. Then look to see how it shows up.
