Would need to trouble shoot the 50 series problems to see if there is a problem in that system first. Recent known problems are that Traffic Meter needs to be disabled on the Orbi AC series FW. Seems to cause problems thats known by NG.
Would be up to you to get a Orb AX or not. Do you have anything that can take advantage of the AX wifi modes?
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.
