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.

Two things:
1 - New Firmware out > https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50#RBR50 (Orbi Router) Firmware Version 1.10.1.2
If that doesn't work, follow this shortlink http://titchy.me/2qfzZ5F
2 - I had Amazon replace my entire set up. Rather than follow the instructions for initial set-up, I did the following:
a) Plugged in the router to a standalone laptop
b) Updated the firmware
c) Changed to AP mode
d) Connected it to my VDSL modem and ran the Internet detection
e) Did all the set-up I wanted
f) FINALLY, added the satelitte.
Step f was the big change, previously, I added the satelitte when prompted by the Netgear wizards. By doing it this way, I eliminated changes having to be replicated with each change.
I have had ZERO wireless drop outs doing this on firmware V1.9.1.12
I still have Beam forming, and WMM etc all turned on.
