Losing Internet Connection Predictably Every 30 Minute
Hello,
I have enjoyed my Netgear Orbi setup for the past several months without any problems. A couple of weeks ago, however, I started to get intermittent drop outs with my internet. I have the RBR40 router with a single satellite in about a 4000 sq ft home and currently on firmware 2.3.5.30. I believe there may be a temporal association to my dropouts and updating my firmware. Like clockwork, my internet will drop on the :08 and :38 of every hour for a couple of minutes and then restart. I have already contacted my ISP on several occassions who have verified their service is working.
Has anyone else had these problems?
Is there a way I can downgrade to a previous firmware version to see if that is the root cause?
Thanks in advance.

What's even more interesting is it seems to be only affecting my Apple devices (iphones, ipads, Apple TV, iMacs).
Could you do a small favor and look at the router "DHCP Lease". i.e. on the Orbi web interface, click on the Advanced Tab:
And then clock on "Connection Status"
What does your Orbi show for the Lease Obtained and Lease Expires?
Thanks for the response:
It says
Lease obtained: 1 hour
Lease expires: 36 minutes
