Sorry to step in oskool hope you dont mind.
Verify orbi firmware is up to date, verify QOS settings are on. It may be called SQM on orbi.
It could just be degradation of the orbi mesh.
Firmware updates also adjust the rf power to antennas to increase lifespan of the device or resolve heat issues which could be the case as well. They also do this on the fly which could cause some latency spikes.
As oskool asked, he was leading towards; if you are connected via ethernet to a satellite orbi you are still relying on 6ghz wireless in the connection chain. You could improve the quality of connection by connecting ethernet to gateway orbi(the orbi connected to your modem). I know this is not easy and requires installation of an ethernet from den to office though, and is not always feasible on your own.
Hey Trichomecookin,
This is an RBR750 mesh system so no QOS settings. Just sets it automatically. Firmware is up to date on satellite and router. I can try hardwiring into the router and see if problems persist. Will have to order an XL ethernet cord to get here after the holidays.

Ahh I see, and understood.
This is the last optimization that can be done on your end. Mesh systems are the greatest wifi invention of the last decade, especially for streaming media and with the End Of Life for cable tv across the country(assuming you're US based) they are 100% necessary imo, but still can be a weak point in the flow for gaming. I hope this helps and isn't too intrusive for you. Best wishes!
