I have an RBR50v2 and two satellites. Same problem. Has the whole system RMAd and no difference. I finally gave up and put the router on a smart switch which turns it off every night at 4am for one minute. That "fixed" the problem. We should all file a class action suit to get our money back, considering Netgear Customer Service refuses to replace this with another model that does not have this issue. Anyone interested?

You are completely right, I didn't buy stuff like TP Link Deco for $130 because surely this $300 NetGear device is the high quality stuff, plus its been out since 2016 all the bugs must have been fixed!
All I get is random disconnections and issues. I spent hours trying to fix this thing. I am telling everyone I know not to buy NetGear now. Routers are like printers, they kind of all suck unless you probably buy corporate stuff like Aruba or Meraki which has ludicrous prices(or subscritpion).
After many months of research the safest bet seems to be ZenMesh by Asus.

My Orbi 50 series works well. No slow downs. Many factors that can cause wifi slow downs. No just FW.
