switched to AP mode. Will let everyone know if it still drops. Next step would be static IP. After that, i will check with AT&T to see if they have any suggestions. Thanks for the help, hopefully switching to AP mode works.

I have exactly the same issue.
I'm getting fiberoptics into the house going into RBR50 (firmware V2.5.1.8) (used as a router) through a converter. Converter works when Orbi connection is off. I can't be 100% sure but I believe I didn't experience this from start.. and it only started with the update to 2.5.1.8.
So far I've factory reset the router - didn't help.
I've set a static IP instead of DHCP - didn't help.
My provider says:
1. My sessions lengths are exactly 23 hours 55 minutes.
2. No spiking in networks traffic can be observed.
3. Their equipment connection is stable through the times my connection is off.
Today I even noticed that when my "prime" time comes and connection is dropped, I can't restore it through "connect" on Advanced > Connection Status popup. Connection takes like 4 minutes to recover during which router is on and opertaing normally, Previously I tried rebooting the router once connection drops and I managed to get the connection back once router rebooted but in a minute or so it dropped again and came back 3-4 minutes later.
Is there a way to get any more meaningful (more detail) logs out of Orbi? I'm pretty much in the blind.
