Samsung Galaxy S8 not working on Orbi RBR40
Galaxy S8 keeps connecting Orbi wifi with message "internet may not be available" then logging off again but all other devices including iOs, TV and laptop can connect quite well. I'm using 1000M int...
We are aware of the issues and working on them I know one person said S8 works just fine on the guest network.

The disconnecting issue started for me right before the latest update. Also I cannot get my 5Ghz band back on or none of my devices will connect to it. I haven't touched any of the settings since I updated to the latest firmware and did a factory reset. All my devices don't disconnect that often but I've seen my Samsung tablet disconnect at least once. My desktop connected to the satellite via RJ45 has disconnected once too. It's just my S8+ disconnecting constantly. I also noticed when I stream on my Samsung TV there are stutters and I have a 1gbps fiber optic Internet. I get max speed of 600+mbps because currently I'm using the cheap CAT5 wire that was used as a telephone line that I converted to RJ45s because the wires are glued and it's a hassle to rewire them. Before the software update everything streamed very smoothly but it's bareable since it's like 10 seconds at most.
Another thing I notice is that my WiFi strength used to be no less than -50s on 2.4Ghz since my 5Ghz won't work anymore, now it goes as low as low -70s from about 20 feet away in another room.
