The problem in this discussion is exactly what I am experiencing - very easy to track as I have a Sonos system thoughout my house which drops out and requires a restart on the individual units. Signal is great and then drops drastically, not sure if it is "completely", but enough to cause numerous problems. Saw there was help and I really need it! Thanks! Bob

How is your Sonos system configured, Standard or Boost mode? How many of your Sonos devices are wired to your LAN?
No devices are wired to LAN - all are connected wirelessly to router, and with Netgear Nighthawk I had no problems with connectivy, but I did with coverage. Orbi is great until the signal drops periodically and then I lose connectivity (which stops Sonos from playing). I had a bridge system on it for several years which as a pain. Orbi is great if it wouldn't have disconects/drop of signal.
I have an RBR50, RBS50; both with 2.0.74 firmware. I am experiencing WiFi dropouts as well, but it seems to be limited to my Galaxy Note 8. It won't stay connected for more than 10 minutes. This occurrs on my main SSID as well as the guest. I also changed the channels, and this had no effect.
Suggestions appreciated.
