I have the same issue. I've updated the firmware the latest version, and this has not rectified the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

Is there an update from Netgear on this? I'd like to know if a solution has been found?

Hi, had much the same issue, Sky Q would keep dropping - was getting uber annoyed with Orbi. However, I traced the issue to the fact that Sky Q and Orbi both use the same 5GHzz Wireless Channel by default; 36.
So, just go into Advanced Settings > Wireless and change the 5GHz channel to something else, ended up at 44 myself as could see neighbours using others and all is good, not had any repeat of the issues since I did that.
Good luck!
