Hi I have noticed that the Gui for the Orbi router page is still kinda buggy at times. At times it will list my sattelties as being disconnected, even though they are not, and today for the first time I was given an error for no internet. Thankfully its usualy fixed with a page refresh but none the less still anoyying.
Another thing I notice is that at time my Asus ROG laptop will at times disconnect then reconnect to the internet in a 5 to 10 secound span. What happened in the past is that I would notice that may laptop at times would connect to the 2.4ghz wifi even though it was in perfect range of the 5ghz, so to fix that I had set my wireless adapter to prefer 802.11a. That did the trick for not connecting to 2.4ghz but still I will get the minor disconnect bursts on my laptop. Now techincally I'm in an area that's in the middle range from one sattelite to the main router. But this still shouldn't happen if the siganl is strong. So can there be a fix for this? I think my chromebook gets it too but its already a little slower anyways.

Does it happend with a different browser, Try E11, Edge, FF or Opera?
Try this?
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Change the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
