On my Galaxy S8 was disconnecting and reconnecting sometimes every 10 min or some time less. Read about someone creating a guest account on the orbi router and tried it and so far it's been more than 12 hours of solid connection without dropping wifi signal.

Luisfernan same issue for my s8+ I am on verizon and have RBR50, not sure what Netgear Engineering is doing to address if anything at all.

Just try the guest connectionI've been using the guest SSID for a month, and while more stable than the primary, it experiences the same problems a few days after resetting the orbi to defaults.

I've found the same. Guest network doesnt disconnect but its still kind of flakey. I'm going to try to get Verizon to send me a new phone with old firmware to test the other guys results.

Luisfernan why should I try guest connection I have no need for guest radio turned on to pollute my already congested environment with more interference. turning on guest connection is not an acceptable solution for my scenario.
