I have a 1 year old Orbi LTE Router LBR20, using Verizon SIM Card.Orbi disconnects several times per week and rarely has a GOOD signal strength. I can place my I-Phone with hotspot on next to home PC...

it might be how verizon has it setup.
I know my parents have a verizon home gateway. But it maxes out speeds at 50mbps most of the time while i can pull 300+ down on my phone next to it. It could be a verizon provisioning for routers versus phones. MIght check with them.
Another thing worth checking out into is upgrading the antennas to external antennas.
not saying it'll help but worth checking into if verizon says its a signal thing.

You could also try the verizon home gateway if they're saying its the lbr20. You can always connect the lbr to it and just use it as a router
