Orbi keeps rebooting several times a day even with new firmware V2.5.1.16

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
I've tried some, but every post I read with the same questions none of what was asked changed anything. As with the others some of these are already disabled as a default i.e. Daisey Chain and a few other. I have not done a factory reset and I will change the channels though it’s not an internet issue it’s a Orbi issue.
I do appreciate the help and will have to change the rest later after work but really it doesn’t seem like others Wi-Fi is making it reset. I have neighbors all around me but I’ve always had them and never had this rebooting issue till I got Orbi. I really like the ease of use but this is such a hassle and a pain since we work from homes these days.
I might have to consider the factory reset option but need to read up on what all I have to do in order to do it correctly.
Please give feedback to the question presented when you get a chance.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.

I've restarted from default, I've started with satellite first, I've changed all the settings and still as of today I'm still having the issue. It has restarted 3 times already, this is so ridiculous. Unless someone has any new suggestions I will now have to pay another 100 for them to do all the same things and figure out I have faulty equipment. I can promise you one thing, I will never buy another Netgear product. This issue is 100% Netgear and not my internet or settings. I only wish I would have noticed this when it was still under warranty.
