Media streaming devices do no stay connected, weak signal on devices
Hello everyone
I am having an issue where my media devices do not stay connected. At first my Firestick always disconnected so I thought maybe and issue with that so I got another device and it does the same thing. I have never had any issues with my Orbi this just started happening recently. I am on the highest firmware I just updated today.
When my devices do connect they don't stay connected for long and when they are connected it shows a bad signal. The router is in the next room and I have 2 satalites on the lower part of the house. Everything is clear from any interference. I noticed sometimes my phone wouldn't even be full signal for a few minutes and then it would go back to full even when I am only in the next room over near the router.
Any ideas? Or maybe my system is going bad.
Thank you for your help

I would also like to add that I have never messed with any of the settings on the router. Everything has always been working perfectly until recently. I've owned Orbi products for years.

UPDATE: After looking around on the community and looking around on google I decided to say screw it and just see what happens when I disable daisy chain. My streaming media devices are back to full bars and I haven't had any issues yet.
What exactly is daisy chain? I understand it was added in one of the updates.

Daisy chain is when the router and satellites connect like so:
router------>satellite----->satellite
Star configuration is thus:
satellite<------router------>satellite
