There's a problem with Orbi for many years now

There's a problem with Orbi for many years now; The way I do it is I connect the router to a Kasa and tell it to reset every day at 4am (or whenever you don't use it); That way, it seems to refresh the connections. Also, when coming home, many times I still have to disconnect the wifi connection on the IPhone and connect back again to get the full speed;

    What model Orbi do you have? 

     

    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?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 
    How many RBS are deployed? 
    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.

    Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? 
    Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? 
    What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
