RBR50 Intermittent device connection issues
Generally, my Wifi system operates fine with devices such as my phone, pad and computer. The issue arises where I have IoT devices that connect to the network, which must be managed by my phone which is also connected to the network. Two examples are my Nest thermostat and a music server device (Cambridge Audio MXN 10). Simply put - sometimes my phone will show that the device is connected, and sometimes not.
Thoughts?

Re: RBR50 Intermittent device connection issues
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?
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.
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

Which app on the phone shows that devices are not connected?
Is it the IoT device app? Or, is it the Orbi 'app'?
