It's probably every hour to hour and a half that it stops traffic. I've rebooted my fiber gateway, main Orbi and sat Orbi in correct sequence as well. I installed the older firmware which kept for all of 20 minutes before the Orbi automatically upgraded itself back the newest. So annoying.

This system sounds like an ideal candidate to test my theory about DHCP renewals. Can you set up a capture to USB and let it run through at least two failures, with restart by DHCP Renew rather than reboot?
p.s. How are you doing the DHCP renew? (telnet session command?)
