The system would drop wifi every day, at least once
I know this is an older thread but I am experiencing the same issue with my RBR20. I have had the system for 2+years without issue until about 2 months ago. The system would drop wifi every day, at...

Thanks for the quick reply!
Most times the ring goes pink/purple, sometimes it does not.
I have firmware version V2.7.4.24, I check when it was updated and these issue don't seem to coincide, I considered downgrading to see it that helps but was not sure. When the ring turns pink, I still get great signal from my modem. I have changed cables, and ports from the modem to the Orbi, it still has the issue. I have my desktop plugged directly into the modem, and never experience this issue, so I don't think it is a modem issue. I also see there is a new Firmware version today, so I will try that as well.
As far as system and home size, the system was working fine for about 2+ years. I have not changed anything recently so not sure why it would change now. I have 1 base and 2 satellites, home is about 2500sq/ft.
I have 2.4 set to auto and 5 set to channel 48. I have a few neighbors wifi but again, this was working, and I don't see an increase in the amount of wifis around me. I don have Circle connected but I have had that for over a year. I will disable it and see if that helps. I have traffic meter off and Armor off.
I have tried a full hard reset of the network as you described but still have the issues. I have not done a full factory reset yet but I can try that. I am using 10.0.0.1 as the DCHP but I have been using that ever since I set it up.
