It would be useful to know if the event is predictable. For example, on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, click on the blue box labelled "Connection Status." It will show when the DHCP lease is due to expire. I would set a timer on my smartphone to alert me a few minutes before the lease is due to expire and "see what happens." This idea is, of course, ridiculous, but then dropping the connection every day is also ridiculous.

Use any web browser to open the page http://orbilogin.net (or by the IP address of the Orbi router, usually 192.168.1.1).
The user name is always "admin". When the Orbi came "out of the box", the password was "password", but may have been changed during setup. It is not the WiFi password.
