Are your VPN drops intermittent or does it always happen when you make a network request? I'm very happy with the Orbi for home wireless but I too have seen intermittent VPN drops using Cisco AnyConnect, e.g., several per work day. This happens to me when connected via Ethernet/MOCA so it is NOT caused by wireless satellite switching. I haven't fully investigated but I guess that my intermittent VPN disconnects started when I switched to Orbi late last year. I only work from home one day per week so I just reconnect whenever it occurs and it's not a deal breaker for me.
VPN disconnects have also been reported here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-Dropping-VPN-Connection/m-p/1183702#M1665
