I have a couple Dropcams, Nest Cams, and now two outdoor Nest Cams.  I bought the Orbi system when it was first released and had the issue of the cams disconnecting.  When the solution was to Uncheck the "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING" option came about, I haven't had one single disconnect.  I keep Implicit Beamforming off and check it after every firmware update.

I have continued to have the issues.   Definately decreased but constant drops not only for my cameras but for my devices as well.  Very frustrating and will eventually buy another Wifi system if it persists, give this to my mom or something, sad.
