If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

That's how I have mine setup with sonic.net service using a Pace 5268ac modem/router.
Pace WiFi off, Orbi on AP mode. No problems with MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Apple TV, iPad Pro, iPhone 7, TiVo Roamio+Stream.
WiFi transfer speeds are 45+ Megabytes per second between MacBook Pro and Mac mini. WiFi Tx Rate shows as 780 Mbs.
It would be great if it was nailed down to that (I am running in Router mode and having problems with dropped Wifi connections as outlined in another thread) - then Netgear engineering would have an easier time fixing it.
