I appreciate your post and no offense but it made me laugh out loud. It is sadly funny to suggest I spend more money and time to fix what is advertised as a simple, high end wifi system that should do what it claims it can do. I really don't think it is too much to ask after paying $300+ that the product actually work as advertised. You should do an experiment and unplug everything, set it back up as just the Orbi system functioning as a router from your modem, then see how well it works. Oh and to your comment previously that I have not elaborated on the problems I have been experiencing, look at several other posts. I have explained it in detail. Again, appreciate you offering what I know would be a solution but I am done screwing with Netgear. What I am going to do is have my buddy that works for Cisco use his employee discount and his skills to set me up a professional grade wireless network that is proven to work.
It's not a silly suggestion to buy a $50 Mikrotik or Edgerouter and use it with Orbi. Orbi has very limited router features, so the router would not be wasted money.
I already had an enterprise-grade router when I bought Orbi. I needed features Orbi doesn't have, so I never ran Orbi in router mode for more than a few minutes. I doubt I'll ever do the test you suggest, because I'll probably never use Orbi that way.
I actually looked through your posts to see if I could determine what your issues were. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see where you started a thread and summarized your issues and configuration all in one place.
Good luck with your Cisco. I hope it works for you.
