I'm having the same issue. Samsung S8 reset to factory settings - no improvement. Issue is only with my Orbi. Wi-Fi works fine elsewhere. Latest firmware on orbi.

I don't understand why someone who actually has an S8 or S8+ tell us to factory reset our phones. It doesn't work! I mentioned this before. Don't factory reset your S8 or S8+.
The issue is clearly the Orbi. Constant disconnection for S8/S8+ is not the only issue. My 5Ghz radio doesn't work anymore. I factory reset my Orbi router, satellite and my S8+. None of them works. Rolling back to an older firmware fixed most of the issue but there are people in my household that have an iPhone. So I rolled back and tried the guest account. That worked for me!
S8 and S8+ owners. Try creating a guest network and connect your phone there. My phone hasn't disconnected the past 2 or 3 days.
Anyone else not able to connect to the 5Ghz radio? I disconnected and reconnected and used my phone in front of my router and satellite but I can never connect to the 5Ghz. None of NY devices can connect to it. I factory resetted at least 2 times and still no luck. I can only connect to it if I roll back my firmware.
