Google Pixel phones and Orbi 970/973 mesh systems are a common complaint. Recommended settings for your Pixel phone(s):
Change MAC Address Type: Navigate to Settings>Network & internet>Internet, tap the gear icon next to your Orbi network, tap Privacy, and change it to “Use device MAC”
Disable Adaptive Connectivity: Go to Settings>Network & internet>Adaptive Connectivity and toggle it OFF.
Disable “Wi-Fi Automatically”: In Wi-Fi preferences, turn off the setting that automatically re-enables Wi-Fi near saved networks, as this can trigger unstable reconnections.

I have done this and see how it goes, because, yes I thought the issue with my Pixel was fixed after several days with no issues, but today the issue came up after a power outrage because of a storm. I wonder this issue persists. Really annoying.
Thanks for your suggestions.
