I'm having the exact same issues ibdb. Very annoying. About ready to ditch Orbi. Trusted Netgear on Orbi based on my Arlo experience and reviews.

I have an RBR50 on firmware 1.12.0.18 and it's been a nightmare the past few days. Wired connection has no issues, but all wireless devices will suddenly lose internet access on a daily basis. Each time, a full reboot of the router is required to reestablish any wireless access to the internet.
The most recent crash wouldn't even allow me to connect to the router wirelessly to reset it. I had to have a wired connection to login to the router.
Until a new FW is released, you could try what I did.
