Yep...so I think there might be multiple issues going on, which is always tricky.
I did not track when the Firmware update was, but I did have on Access Control and I can tell you as I was trying to troubleshoot this it was demonic. Access control acted like it had a virus and just randomly blocked, unblocked when I tried to turn it off.
I finally got it turned off, but it took like 10 reboots and all kinds of madness to get Access control to settle down.
IT IS NOW OFF. I had been having this issue for a few weeks (or more).
Then on top of that, a while ago (1 year) Spectrum had me revert back to their DNS as they said they would not support the issues I was having any other way. Well I forgot that and just assumed it was working. Once I cleared the Access Control madness, I redirected by DNS (was google prior to the change 1 year ago) to Cloudflare.
Once all that settled in, I turned on my Satellite orbis.
My intent was to do a Factory Reset, but just ran out of time.
Yesterday evening, I put in a tool to monitor the uptime between the Orib and Modem....just a chrome plug in.
This morning, woke up to 100% uptime and not a single disconnect.
I have a insane busy day (had to take off work yesterday because of this) today and I will report back how it goes.
