This must be related to the ISP lease time issue that was introduced in recent Orbi updates and is still there in the latest 2.3.5.30.
A tested workaround that I currently have and has solved this issue for me to to reduce the lease renewal time in Orbi as follows:
* From browser go to the router's debug page (http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm). Use your router's IP address or http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm
* Enter admin as user name and your router’s management password
* Tick "Enable Telnet" option
* Use Telnet from a computer attached to Orbi to connect to your Router telnet 192.168.1.1 and enter admin and the same password as above
* Enter the following commands:
* root@RBR50:/# config get wan_lease — Should give you --> 86400
* root@RBR50:/# config set wan_lease=720
* root@RBR50:/# config commit
