Orbi drops internet connection on AP Mode

I recently purchased the Orbi RBK50. It worked great for a while, but now I have it lose the internet connection several times a day and have to reboot. I am running it in AP mode, off of a Comcast Router. The Comcast Router does not lose internet connectivity, only the Orbi. Any recommendations? Would I be better off giving up the Comcast Router and just getting a Comcast Modem, and using the Orbi in Router mode? Right now I find the way Orbi drops my internet connection to be intolerable. I am running the latest firmware for the Orbi.
I’m having the exact same issue in AP mode and Router Mode. Have to restart Orbi multiple times a day. Local networking continues to work, but no internet and I can’t even login to the Orbi’s web interface. It just times out. I can’t work it out. Reset and everything back to normal till the next time.
Maybe it’s an issue with PPoe to the fibre modem. But I’m not buying a new Router to sit between the modem and the Orbi to check! Part of the point of the thing is that it is a good router.
It’s really beyond irritating for an expensive piece of kit.
