You'll have to tell people a bit more.
How do you know that the router loses the Internet and not stuff connected to it?
Is this wifi connections? Wired things?
What about the modem in front of this router?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

All of my devices connected to satellites wired or wireless lose connection. I have firmware 2.3.1.44 just updated last week. Had the same issue with the old firmware as well. My cable modem has all solid lights

Access point mode hands this task to your modem/router, leaving the Orbi to handle wifi.
