Alas "latest one" is ambiguous. The Orbi Firmware Update web page may say, "No firmware update available", when there actually is "newer" firmware on the support web site. That's why the specific firmware release number is useful to know.

i checked the firmware version it was 2.5.1.8, so I have updated to to the last version 2.5.1.16 by doing it manually. I will test if the problem goes away or not.

You may need a factory reset and setup from scratch if you notice more problems. Also be aware if your ISP Modem/ONT router configuration as well.
