After several frustrating weeks, I can confirm that this is an issue with the Orbi. I am also using the Cisco AnyConnect software from work and the minute I log in via VPN, internet drops. So much so that it sometimes reboots my modem. I did not want to switch to AP mode as some mentioned that this might resolve the issue; however, I plugged in a switch and connected my work laptop hardwired, and VPN works. Anyway, I have decided to return the orbi for the Amplify HD system. I just cannot sit and wait for Netgear to fix this issues as it's evident that this problem hasn't been resolved for a while.

Vpn works fine when wired to AP., not on Wifi. worked fine on my Nighthawk R7000. This has to do with the handoff between APs this should be fixed in an update. I never lose connection on my laptop or anything on my network when the VPN drops. Any ETA
Thank you
