I have also been having problems with the Orbi losing internet connection. I upgrade to the latest router firmware, 1.5.0.12, in the hopes they fixed it, but over the last 2 days it has locked up twice.
Any suggestions from Netgear on settings or troubleshooting? I have everything set to defaults with the Guest network off.
I had an unexplained connection drop this morning too (magenta router). After doing a power cycle, it's been OK since.
Latest firmware here, and I verified it was not an issue related to my servce provider
Something still isn't quite right with the basic Orbi firmware - hoping another update is released soon...
