If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

It's quiet interesting that some people have all this disconnect while for others it's working perfectly fine.
Could somebody who has the problems try to just disconnect and delete their Wifi settings and then reconnect to the Wifi new entering the password again?
I have seen issues on MacOS and iOS before where devices remeber certain parameters about the network. If you just put a new router there and use the same Wifi SSID the client connectiong might think it's still on the old network with some stored parameters. Hence I'd recommend to delete the exising Wifi entry ont he device and re-join the new Wifi network from scratch.
Hope this wil help!
Thanks, not sure what those wifi parameters would be that could cause this behavior, but easy enough to do, so I just did it, let's see if it can help...!
