A couple things that I would try would be turned down 2.4 transmission to like 50%or try a different Channel on your 2.4 and you something like 1 or 6 or 13
I've temporarily resolved my dropout problem by simply turning off both satellites. Stable, but I don't get the coverage that I need in my house. When I first installed the RBK53, it was fantastic. Two firmware updates later (including the beta), and I basically have three expensive paperweights. So tomorrow, I'm getting a new router. I haven't yet decided which one, but I'm researching tonight. I do know that it will not have the Netgear brand on it.
Adios!
So I take it that returning my Orbi to Best Buy four weeks ago was a good move? My old router is showing its range and I was tempted by Orbi once more, after seeing the update land decently well.
I can't take the stress and frustration of dropped connections; there's too much work to be done to bother with this day-in and day-out. Adios, once again, Orbi.
Unfortunately I can now confirm the latest beta firmware (V2.0.0.64), only resolves my issues until the next reboot. I can reproduce the issue with 100% reliability.
I couldn't be more pissed off that I've wasted so much time with support, gathering logs and taking endless screenshots, for them to deliver a supposed fix that clearly wasn't tested at all.

I can confirm this as well. Everything was great until I rebooted the router. Then downstream speeds dropped to 1/10 what they were. I'm now in the process of rolling back to v1.12 and doing the NVRAM dance. SMH.
