You are not alone. The Orbi firmware is extremely unstable. I returned mine due to it not meeting advertises specifications. I replaced it with an Asus ZenWiFi AIMesh system and it works so much better, The only issue it has is that any guest networks only broadcast from the base router, they are not replicated on the satellites. Supposedly a firmware fix for this issue will be released soon.

You could also look at alternative firmware. There are options out there that people really like. I might consider it in the future.
