Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed on the RBR and RBS since last FW update?

From my PCs/Devices I experience disconnections to the internet, 2-3 times a day. The Genexis shows that it is connected so I do not suspect the provider.
Whenever the disconnection is observed I either
1. go to Orbi web admin interface, click Internet and then Test (solves the issue in a few seconds)
2. unplug/plug the ethernet cable towards the modem (solves the issue in several seconds)
both actions solve the issue, but it is annoying...
My questions are
1. Is there a known incopatibility/issue between the 2 devices (orbi and genexis)?
2. How can I further troubleshoot the issue and solve it?
thanks in advance for your help

Before doing a factory reset, Is there a way to backup my settings and restore them? For example I have enabled circle,I prefer not to configure again all devices.
Thanks

Yes. Under Administration/Backup.
Please factory reset and setup from scratch first and test the problem before applying the back up configuration.
