Firmware 2.5.1.16
Noticed post today stating that new firmware was automatically installed and the Orbi immediately started having problems. Went to Advanced Tab, Administration, and "sure enough", my RBR50 says that...
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I already reset my RBR50 and RBS50. Update RBS50 frimware to 2.5.1.16 and update firmware RBR50 to 2.5.1.16. Then restore all parameter and off/on router and connect to Internet. All done. Under monitoring wifi conection loss.
I will set the router and wifi setiing follow your advise. At current update, wifi disconnected still occurred more frequent compare to 2.5.1.8 firmware.
So even with v2.5.1.8 you still saw disconnections?
- I mean firm 2.5.1.16 more frequent. I days at least 4 to 5 time. If firmware 2.5.1.8 1 week about 7 time.
Well even if your seeing problems with FW regardless of version, seems that your system or your ISP service needs to be looked at.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem if your using cable ISP services.
