I replaced my ORBI RBR50 mesh system with ORBI 970 Series WiFi 7. When playing or streaming videos, it keeps buffering and I have to turn WiFi off and switch back to 5G Network. It's annoying. Not sure why this happens. I have 2 satellites installed. I never had this issue with ORBI RBR50. I also heard that apple's new IOS has issues with WiFi and they need to come up with a fix. Not sure how much of that is true. Looking for some advice, thanks.
I understand that you are having issues with your RBE971 with video streaming. We have a new firmware for the North American region that may resolve this issue. At your earliest convenience, please upgrade to firmware version 9.12.4.16. Please be sure to upgrade the firmware on the attached satellites before the router.
What devices are you using to play or stream videos with? Brand and model please.
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. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 🛰

For this size of home, only the RBR unit and just one RBS would be needed. Having two RBS deployed maybe causing problems. Lets turn OFF one RBS for now.
