Well, I must be fair and honest (as my parents raised me to be)....
Netgear provided me with a NEW Beta this morning. I applied it immediately. About 8AM PST.
Almost 14 hours and not single problem.
WIFI-Calling is working well. No random drops I can see.
Today was a busy day in the home. 2 AppleTVs running, family on the iPads. A few Webex and Skype meetings with VoIP, and plenty of general internet use.
Not one problem I could see.
Is it possible they found a solution to make Orbi work?
I will give another update by Monday, if not sooner.
P.S. Why am I scared?
Now, if Netgear has Orbi to a BASELINE working condition, CAN WE PLEASE GET SOME PROGRESS ON OUR SUGGESTIONS AND PROMISES, such as No Auto-Updates, True MESH abilty, improved connected devices information (RSSI, MCS Rate), Maybe work on that Orbi App that "for me" is useless, etc., etc, etc. Getting us out of the red-zone is not the definition of improvement. Orbi should have been working right since day one, and evolved into something better by now. Now that it MAY be working right, its OVERDUE to make Orbi better.

Well this is encouraging - fingers crossed! I've had multiple internet drop outs and have sinced switched off the satellites (2 of them) - no drops outs for more than a week!
