I did have some QOS on the managed switches. I turned that to low priority - lowest level. On pfSense (my gateway and FW that does the inter-vlan routing as well, has a setting in System/Advanced/Firewall&NAT/ Firewall Optimization Optoins. Other threads said to set this from normal to Conservative. Also under State Timeouts in same location to change UDP Multiple from 60 to 900. Made those changes. Also pfsense was upgraded from 2.72. to 2.80 CE (community Edition - which I run).
Same issues this morning.
is there any case where the Obi's could be too close?

What are the brand and model# of these manages switches?
Do you have any of the RBS connected to these switches? Or are they wireless connected?
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 wired or wirelessly connected.

I'd try the Orbi system connected to the Verizon FIOS ONT with out any PFsense or managed switches in the mix to see if the issue continues
