    I've been having this same problem, however I haven't seen anyone mention that this WiFi connection dropout has been happening since updating the Orbi's firmware, as is my case. I received an email from Netgear on Sunday (the 28th) telling me "We've Enhanced Your Product's Security. Please Update to the Latest Firmware." I did so--up to version 2.7.2.104--and ever since then we've lost WiFi connection at least twice a day.

     

    I am at a loss as to what to do. Needless to say, WiFi dropouts are untenable with us working from home. Is it possible to go back to the previous firmware? We had no such problems before this "update."

     

    thx
