Lag and intemittent connection issues on new Orbi 370

Hello,   I recently upgraded my old Orbi system to a 370.    Since then, I have regular network interruption issues on most of my main Wi-Fi-enabled devices.   Sonos and Spectrum issues mostly.    ...

Hi Furry,

 

Thanks for being willing to help.  :)

 

Here are the answers to your questions.

 

  1. Spectrum DOCSIS 3.1 Modem.  Model E31T2V1
  2.  I am updating all my Ethernet cables to CAT6A this week.
  3. Orbi is set to get DNS automatically from ISP
  4. IPv6 is disabled
  5. I have one Orbi router and two satellites.
  6. My house is 2600 sq feet
  7. I think they are about 30 feet apart from each other.  The main Orbi 371 is in my office (north center of house), one satellite is in LR (southeast room), and last satellite is in the hallway (west).  I put the last one there to plug one of my sono speakers into and provide coverage to my MBR and my wife's office.   
  8. I have not yet tried to test with the satellites off.  
  9. Both
  10. I have 2.4 and 5 enabled.
  11. Need to test the last part about the Armor and Traffic meter.  I don't use parental controls.

 

I hope this all helps.

Try using custom IPv4 DNS like Cloudfare or Quad9.

What WiFi channel configurations are currently set on the router for 2.4 and 5Ghz?
