Android devices keep getting thrown off the Orbi WiFi

For the benefit of everyone who is facing major WIFI disconnect issues (Whether on iOS or Android Devices).
I've been facing this issue from the beginning with much frustrations.
Currently I'm on the new Beta FW test and it's been looking good the whole of last night.
Not a single WIFI drop. I even asked the missus to observe this WIFI disconnect/connect situation.
She affirmed that it hasn't occured since the latest Beta FW.
It's a good sign so far.
Glad you are having good results with the beta. Are you able to watch your backhaul and see if you are having signal drops coming from the router? I'm trying to figure out if this issue is hardware or software related. Here are my 2.4 (pink) and 5 GHz (red) backhaul signals on the latest beta firmware. Devices sensisitive to quick disconnects like Wi-Fi cameras drop with it.

I don't think my backhaul was dropping last night as the missus ws watching Youtube the whole night from the TV (Which is LAN connected to the Satellite Unit). If backhaul had dropped the Youtube would have stopped and the missus would have howled! But she didn't.
