Orbi RBR850 have internet but no wifi

So my orbi RBR850 have internet and all. All my devices that are pluged in with ethernet cabel have internet. But all phones and tables keeps loosing connection to wifi. All my google, mill and other smart house devices are connected to wifi. Is it my 5Ghz that is the problem or what? In the app it says that the RBR is connected locally.

Re: Orbi RBR850 have internet but no wifi

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. CAT6A STP 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 wired or 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?  

 

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

 

Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
