What size area are you trying to cover? Orbi's don't do well when they're to close together.
Make sure they're at least 30ft apart. If you have the option, you can use a wired backhaul for them. It half defeats the purpost of orbi but I'm a firm believer in hardwiring in everything I can.
You can also try playing with your daisy chain & beamforming settings to see if these help stabilize them.
Another thing is maybe something got corrupt in the firmware update. Its happened before. You can always re-upload the firmware manually, perform a factory reset, and redo your setup. Its kind of a last ditch effort but its worked for me before.
