Sky Q with Orbi. WiFi drops out constantly

I recently upgraded to a Netgear Orbi system, which is great with everything, except Sky Q

It won't connect to the Orbi WiFi at all, but I also made a guest network and IOT network as well for legacy devices and smart home stuff. But even on those it has the same issues.

Anyone else have the same issue or know how to possibly rectify it?

Believe me, that is going to happen very soon.

It worked flawlessly with my Asus AX88U router though.

Try a 2.4 GHz only network and see if that helps.

Sky Q can be a massive pain with some Wi-Fi kit, although I didn't have any issues with UniFi.

Turning off 5Ghz on the Sky Q box with the hidden engineer menu appears to have solved it.

Thanks.
