It was reported the AP mode helped alleviate problems seen in router mode.
You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.

Do you use your ORBI as AP or as ROUTER because once I started using it as ROUTER the problems started.
I am using for my LAN setup another ip-range than the usual (like xx.xx.xx.xx for router IP, Address with IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0), however I see some devices attached with Ip numbers in the normal range (192.168.2.0 etc) which is outside the range I am using. Shouldn't that not be possible at all?
Still strugling btw with fall-outs. I am now trying with the wireless sattelite (which often had backhaul status poor) moved to a place where it can be wired (now both my sattelites are backhaul wired with status good
"(like xx.xx.xx.xx for router IP," < This should not be the IP address for the routers IP on the LAN side. Is this the IP address for the WAN port? The IP address for the routers LAN side should be a 192.168.something.1.
"I see some devices attached with Ip numbers in the normal range (192.168.2.0 etc)" < Do you have Guest Network enabledf?

Yes well, it's not exactly xx.xx.1x.x7 (I thought to keep it secret, lol) I am using something in the range 10.0.19.x which should be possible for the LAN setup.
Now you mention it, indeed I see all those 192.168 addresses for the guest network that I have enabled. It seems that that is not configurable or at least not following the setup I use in 'LAN setup' which would put it in the 10.0.19.x range...Thanks for demystifying that part :-)
Ok Ya, WAN IPs should not be posted in public forums. LAN IPs can be as thats mostly common across all routers and yes, can be a 10.something address. This usually means that you have a up stream router in front of the orbi router if thats the case using a 192.168.1.1 address thus the orbi will auto change to a 10 something address on the LAN side. Otherwise, 192 addresses are default and most commonly used.
