OskooI_007 Connected to the one satellite on the system. I just gave the Orbi a full reboot and am still having issues.
NameWasWayTooLon having the PC connected to a satellite means the satellite is acting as the PC's wifi network card. I would try connecting the PC directly to the router like Trichomecookin recommended and see of that fixes the ping spikes.
The best way to deploy a wifi mesh network is to have each satellite connected to the router with ethernet cables. That way each satellite has a wired backhaul connection to the router which doubles the satellite's wireless speed.
Of course having a wired connection is inconvenient in most circumstances, but it does boost performance greatly.

OskooI_007 That makes sense. Going to order some MOCA adapters, a filter, and a splitter and get that set up. Moved the satellite to a more elevated position and that seems to have cleared up a decent amount. Ran another Ping Plotter test and am seeing 75% packet loss at a Comcast server(?) I believe. https://share.pingplotter.com/5yMDnfiZEKR

NameWasWayTooLon the ping times look much better. Not as many ping spikes.
Hop 8 shows packet loss but hop 9 doesn't show any packet loss.
So I wouldn't worry about the packet loss on hop 8 since it's not causing any packet loss on hop 9.
I know I said earlier that low number hops can cause packet loss on high number hops. That's true they can, but it's considered a false reading if it's not affecting higher number hops downstream.
