Hello Everyone
We have release firmware version 1.12.0.18 this firmware has fixes for disconnects and many more I posted the release notes below.

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.

Same problem here
I must admit I am very disapointed by my ORBI36 (above all regarding the price). My iPhone 7S, Ipad(s) are constantly disconnecting ... very annoying.
And I just upgraded to the latest firmware. Still the same.
Netgear WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?! if you are unable to fix this just tell us QUICK and we'll have time to return our Orbi and buy another (working) brand.

I have moved my satellite as far as I can get it from the router and everything seems to be working fine. No dropouts since I did this and I have re-enabled beam forming and MIMO. Apple/Sonos house.
I have 2.4 on 25% and Orbi on channel 1 and Sonos on channel 11 with one Sonos wired into the router.
