I too have this issue. Really frustrating, as I didn't even know the router firmware had updated. Coincidentally, my S8+ just received an update yesterday as well. Prior to that update, I didn't have any wifi issues. It is ONLY on the Orbi (like others), as my neighborhood Comcast "Xfinity" free wifi works fine.
This is most definitely specific to this router and this device (S8/S8+)

Same thing here. Wife's S7 is OK with the Orbi, but after Friday nights Samsung update I cant stay connected on the Orbi. Re-installed my old Netgear Genie R6220 and no more connection issues with the S8. I'll go back to the Orbi in Guest mode access as this seems to be the temp fix, hopefully Netgear can get this resolved quickly.
