Every 30 or 60 minutes, there would be a 5–7 second drop

I experienced this problem as well, for about 1.5 weeks. Every 30 or 60 minutes, there would be a 5–7 second drop. I narrowed it down to the leg of the network between the Orbi and my cable modem. The red exclamation points show the times when there was a lost connection between the two:

 

I was about to buy a new cable modem and test that out, when I wondered whether there was new Orbi firmware to try first. I upgraded to 2.7.4.24 and the issue stopped. No idea if it was the firmware itself or if it was whatever reset the device does while applying the new firmware... but glad to be back to normal!
