Orbi stops responding overnight

I've recently got an Orbi and successfully set it up with my broadband connection. It works fine throughout the day, including long periods of inactivity, but I find it stops responding overnight.  ...

    My RBR50 no longer drops! It's been up for almost 48 hours!

     

    Version: V1.12.0.18

    Steps: Updated firmware, reset Orbi router to factory, resync'd each satallite. Thanks Netgear Orbi Team!

I updated to the latest firmware and it's had no effect.

 

I've tracked down something that's triggering it. If I disable (unplug) the satellite, everything remains fine overnight, but of course I don't have a great signal upstairs so the Internet is slow.

 

I've can't see anything obviously wrong, or if there are many settings to configure a satellite. I tried resetting the backhaul password, but that didn't help.

 

Any ideas?
