Loses internet every 2 days
I have had my router almost a year now and have had no problems until now. The router loses internet connection. I reboot and it works for about 2 days, then stops again. The firmware is up to dat...

I might have a similar problem. It was working fine until last week, and now it cuts out about once a day, including ethernet hardwired to Orbi. One thing I found is I can still access the router admin so I can just reset it from there instead of getting up, but still not a long-term solution. Another weird thing that happens for me is any website that already has a connection (ie streaming movies or Twitch) will continue to have a good connection after the computer "loses" internet. I finished a whole movie an hour after the internet went out the other day. But when I went to pick a new movie, the connection was gone. Happens on multiple devices, Android and Windows. Let me know if you find anything.

Is traffic meter or DST under NTP settings being used.
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch before downgrading. Don't use Traffic Meter.
What is the brand and model# of the ISP modem or ONT the RBR is connected too?

Traffic meter is being used although I never look at it. I have used 3 different modems, both experience same problem
Netgear CM700
Arris Surfboard SB6190
forgot the other one
Unfortunately I thought it was a modem problem and spent an unnecessary $200.

Ok, well someone said Traffic Meter is causing problems. I would disable it if your not really using it anyways.
There are known problems with the SB6190 modem. Something you may want to review:

If you'll do a search....you'll see 100's of folks complaining about the same
you may want to consider rolling your firmware back
