I have been limping along with Orbi with a smartplug connected to the satellite to reset it as needed. I have tried all recent firmwares with little improvement. With several wifi devices that notify me when they disconnect, it has been very painful to deal with. I ended up with an Eero bridged to the Orbi router for the family to stay connected while I tried to get stable Wifi from Orbi. I also switched one security camera that was constantly disconnecting from Orbi. It has't had a problem since. This weekend I am trying out a Ubiquiti access point and their EdgeRouter X. I even switched out my cable modem twice thinking it might help.
