Possible signal issues

Would it make sense for there to be an issue with my Orbi router (RBR50 plus satellite) or my ISP if I have some devices that connect to my home network yet others that dont? And at one time everything connected just fine. Example: My TV connects just fine to the network and I can watch netflix.  But my table and iPad will both say that there is no internet connection available even while I'm watching Netflix so I know there is signal available.   Again, at one time everything connected just fine. This only started in the last week.

Re: Possible signal issues

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

Try this as well:
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
