Orbi RB50 periodic slow internet speeds since 2.0.0.74 - fine after reboot

I have exactly same issue with my Orbi setup with one router and two satellites. After reboot the system is fast but slows down quite soon. The discussion in this thread ended couple of months ago but was there any solution to the problem?

If you have a RBK50 or RBR50 series kits, please try the beta FW:

Do a factory reset on both router and Satellite then set up from scratch.
