I have an Orbi RBR50 with two satellites RBS50 in router mode. After a growing internet connection dropping issue (for which I read a number of community posts), I updated the firmware (2.5.1.8) on ...
The modem is: NETGEAR Cable Modem CM700.
I have followed the instructions in the KB on placement as I have looked at that previously.
All the wifi suggestions you gave I have tried already previous to this post. However, I am not sure how they are relevant since I mentioned this issue occurs on a wired connection as well.Circle and Armor are disabled.
What came with the unit is a Cat5e. I will swap with a Cat6.
If the problem persists, are we talking about a bad unit? Or do you have any other suggestions?
Ya kind of points to something on the RBR or between the RBR and modem.
When was the last time the modem was fully powered OFF for 1 minute then back on?
You can try downgrading FW on the RBR and see if this helps any. V30 would be last working version.
Or try voxel FW:

You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.
